1/5: jigar

khanjar chale kisee pe

taDapte hain ham 'ameer'

saare jahaan ka dard

hamaare jigar mein hai

the dagger plunges into someone

and i am the one to suffer, ameer

the pain of the whole world

is gathered in my heart

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

2/5: jigar

meri aah ka tum asar

dekh lena

wo aayenge thaame jigar

dekh lena

the effect of my sighs

you just watch

my beloved will come, heart in hand

you just watch

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

3/5: jigar

ghazal mein bandish-e-alfaaz

hi nahi kaafi

jigar ka khoon bhi chaahiye

kuch asar ke liye

just a string of words is

not enough to make a poem

you also need a drop

of your heart's blood for it to last

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

4/5: jigar

aashiqui sabr-talab

aur tamanna betaab

dil ka kya rang karuun

khoon-e-jigar hote tak

love demands patience

but desire is restless

how shall i color my heart

until it is finally vanquished

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

5/5: jigar

nazar lage na kaheen

uske dasto baazoo ko

ye log kyon mere

zakhm-e-jigar ko dekhte hain

may no evil eye fall

on her hands and arms

why do these people

keep gazing at my heart’s wounds

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
