इक कुड़ी जिहदा नाम मोहब्बत गुम है.

Shiv Kumar Batalvi (23 July 1936 –6 May 1973 was an Indian poet, writer and playwright of the Punjabi language. He was most known for his romantic poetry, noted for its heightened passion, pathos, separation and lover's agony.

He became the youngest recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1967, given by the Sahitya Akademi (India's National Academy of Letters), for his epic verse play based on the ancient legend of Puran Bhagat, Loona (1965),

now considered a masterpiece in modern Punjabi literature, and which also created a new genre, of modern Punjabi kissa.

Today, his poetry stands in equal footing, amongst that by stalwarts of modern Punjabi poetry, like Mohan Singh (poet) and Amrita Pritam, all of whom are popular on both sides of Indo-Pakistan border.

Ishtehaar

Ik kudi
Jida naam muhabbat
Saad muraadi, sohni fabbat
Gumm hai, Gumm hai, Gumm hai

Surat osdi pariyaan vargi
Seerat di Mariam lagdi
Hasdi hai taan phul jhardhey ne
Turdi hai taan ghazal hai lagdi
Lamm salammi saru de kadd di
Umar ajey hai mar ke agdi
Par naina di gal samajhdi

Gummiyan janam janam han hoye
Lagda iyon jyon kal di gal hai
Iyon lagdai jion ajj di gal hai
Iyon lagdai jion hun di gal hai

Hune taan mere kol khadi si
Hune taan mere kol nahi hai
Ae keha chhal hai
Ae keha bhatkan

Soch meri
Hairaan badi hai
Nazar merii har aande jaande
Chehre daa rang phol rahii hai
Ous kudi nu tol rahi hai

Saanjh dhale baazaran de jad
Morhaan te khushboo ugdi hai
Vehal, thakavat, bechaini jad
Chauraheyan te aa judhdi hai
Rauley lippi tanhai de vich
Oss kudi di thurh khaandi hai
Oss kudi di thurh disdi hai

Har chin mainun eyon lagdaa hai
Har din mainun eyon lagdaa hai
Judhe jashan te bheedhaan vichon
Judhi mahak de jhurmat vichon
O mainoon aawaaz davegi
Main ohnoon pehchaan lavaanga
O mainoon pehchaan lavegi
Par ess raule de har vichon
Koyi vi mainoonu aawaaz naa dendaa
Koyi vi mere vall naa vehndaa

Par khaure kyun taplaa lagdaa
Par khaure kyun jhaulla painda
Har din har ik bhidh judhi chon
But ohdaa jyon langh ke jaandaa
Par mainoon hi nazar naa aundaa
Gum gayi main oss kudi de
Chehre de vich gummya rehnda
Oss de gham vich ghullda rehnda
Oss de gham vich khurdaa jaanda

Oss kudi noon meri saun hai
Oss kudi noon apni saun hai
Oss kudi noon sab di saun hai
Oss kudi noon jag di saun hai
Oss kudi noon rab di saun hai
Je kite padhdi sundi hove
Jyundi jaan o mar rahi hove
Ik vaari aa ke mil jaave
Wafaa merii noon daag na laave
Nahin taan methon jiyaa naa janda
Geet koyi likheyaa naa jandaa

Ik kudi
Jida naam muhabbat
Gum hai, Gum hai, Gum hai
Saad muraadi, sohni phabbat
Gum hai, Gum hai, Gum hai
