Date: 6-May-99
Poet: Jigar Moradabadi

baraabar se bachakar guzar jaane vaale
ye naale nahii.n be-asar jaane vaale

[naale = sighs]

muhabbat me.n ham to jiye hai.n jiye.nge
vo ho.nge ko_ii aur mar jaane vaale

**This sher reminds me of another one that I had read a long time ago:

terii nigaah se aisii sharaab pii mai.n ne ke phir na hosh kaa daavaa kiyaa kabhii mai.n ne
vo aur ho.nge ji.nhe.n maut aa ga_ii hogii nigaah-e-yaar se paa_ii hai zi.ndagii mai.n ne

I don't know the poet. Perhaps someone in this group does. **

mere dil kii betaabiyaa.N bhii liye jaa
dabe paao.n muu.Nh pher ke jaane vaale
