Jigar was extremely popular with the masses, who regarded him as the
People’s Poet. His ghazals remain very popular with lovers of Urdu poetry.
Many remark that the era of classical Urdu poetry ended with Jigar.
Here is a memorable ghazal written by him and immortalized in Jagjit
Singh’s melodious voice:
ishq ki daastaan hai pyaare
apni apni zabaan hai pyaare
hum zamaane se inteqaam to le
ek haseen darmiyaan hai pyaare
tu nahin main hoon main nahin too hai
ab kuchh aisaa ghumaan hai pyaare
rakh qadam phoonk phoonk kar naadaan
zarre zarre mein jaan hai pyaare
