Recently there was a post of ghazals of Josh Malihabadi from the cassette
Kahakashan.Here are two other lovely ghazals from the same cassette penned
by Jigar Moradabadi.They have sung by Vinod Sehgal (superbly if i may add)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shaayar-e-fitrat hu mein jab fikr farmata hu mein
rooh bankar zarre zarre mein sama jata hu mein
aake tujh bin is tarah ,ay dost ghabrata hu mein
jaise har shay mein kisi shay ki kami pata hu mein
teri mehfil tere jalve phir takaza kya zuru
le utha jata hu zalim le chala jata hu mein
hai ri majbooriya kar ke mohabbat ke liye
mujhko samjhate hai vo aur unko samjhata hu mein
ek dil hai aur toofan-e-hawaris ay jigar
ek sheesha hai kidhar pathar se takraata hu main
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabiyat in dino begaan-e-gham hoti jaati hai
mere hisse ki goya har khushi kam hoti jati hai
kayamat kya yeh-e-husne do aalam hoti jati hai
ke mehfil to vahi dilkashi kam hoti jati hai
wahi hai shaahido saki magar dil bhujhta jata hai
wahi hai shamma lekin roshni kam hoti jati hai
wahi hai zindagi lekin jigar yeh haal hai apna
ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jati hai

Sure.
Here is my (nearly) complete collection of Jigar Moradabadi ghazals. All
are from various cassettes and CDs I've collected over the years. There
is one other ghazal missing in here - "saaqi ki har nigaah pe balkha ke
pi gaya" sung by Mohd. Rafi. The ghazals in this collection have been
sung by Talat Mahmood, Begum Akhtar, Vinod Sehgal and Jagjit Singh.
Enjoy!

be-kaif dil he aur jiye ja raha hooN maiN
khaali he sheesha aur piye ja raha hooN maiN
majboor yeh kamaal-e-muhabbat to dekhna
jeena naheeN qubool jiye ja raha hooN maiN
voh dil kahaaN he ab ke jise pyaar keejiye
majbooriyaaN heN saath diye ja raha hooN maiN
pehle sharaab zeest thi ab zeest he sharaab
koyi pila raha he piye ja raha hooN maiN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shab-e-firaaq he aur neeNd aayi jaati he
kuchh is meN in ki tavajjuh bhi paayi jaati he
hameeN pe ishq ki tuhmat lagaayi jaati he
magar yeh sharm jo chehre pe chhaayi jaati he
voh maikada he teri anjuman khuda rakhe
jahaaN khayaal se pehle pilaayi jaati he
qareeb manzil-e-aakhir he al-firaaq Jigar
safar tamaam hu'a neeNd aayi jaati he
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
agar na zohra-jabeenoN ke darmiyaaN guzre
to phir yeh kaise kaTe zindagi kahaaN guzre
mujhe yeh vehm raha muddatoN ke jur'aat-e-shauq
kaheeN na khaatir-e-maasoom par giraaN guzre
khata mu'aaf zamaane se bad-gumaaN ho kar
teri vafa pe bhi kya kya hameN gumaaN guzre
mujhe tha sikhva-e-hijraaN ke yeh hu'a mehsoos
mere qareeb se ho kar voh naagahaaN guzre
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bangaal ki maiN shaam-o-sahar dekh raha hooN
har chand ke hooN door magar dekh raha hooN
iflaas ki maari hu'i makhlooq sar-e-raah
be-gor-o-kafan khaak ba-sar dekh raha hooN
insaan ke hote hu'e insaan ka yeh hashr
dekha naheeN jaata he magar dekh raha hooN
rehmat ka chamakne ko he phir naiyyir-e-taabaaN
ho ne ko he is shab ki sahar dekh raha hooN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
muddat meN voh phir taaza mulaaqaat ka aalam
khaamosh adaa'oN meN voh jazbaat ka aalam
allah hare voh shiddat-e-jazbaat ka aalam
kuchh keh ke voh bhooli hu'i har baat ka aalam
aariz se Dhalakte hu'e shabnam ke voh qatre
aaNkhoN se jhalakta hu'a barsaat ka aalam
voh nazaroN hi nazaroN meN savaalaat ki duniya
voh aaNkhoN hi aaNkhoN meN javaabaat ka aalam
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shaayar-e-fitrat hooN maiN jab fikr farmaata hooN maiN
rooh ban kar zarre zarre meN sama jaata hooN maiN
aa ke tujh bin is tarah, ay dost ghabraata hooN maiN
jaise har shay meN kisi shay ki kami paata hooN maiN
teri mehfil tere jalve phir taqaaza kya zaroor
le uTha jata hooN zaalim le chala jaata hooN maiN
haaye ri majbooriyaaN kar ke mohabbat ke liye
mujh ko samjhaate heN voh aur un ko samjhaata hooN maiN
ek dil he aur toofaan-e-havaadis ay Jigar
ek sheesha he ke har patthar se Takraata hooN maiN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tabeeyat in dinoN begaana-e-gham hoti jaati he
mere hisse ki goya har khushi kam hoti jaati he
qayaamat kya yeh he husn-e-do-aalam hoti jaati he
ke mehfil to vahi he dilkashi kam hoti jaati he
vahi he shaahid-o-saaqi magar dil bujhta jaata he
vahi he shamma lekin raushni kam hoti jaati he
vahi he zindagi lekin Jigar yeh haal he apna
ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jaati he
