be-tarah in mein ulajh jaega nadani na kar
be-tarah in meñ ulajh jā.egā nādānī na kar
vāqi.āt-e-umr-e-rafta par nazar saanī na kar
dil pe jo guzrī hai us par ashk-afshānī na kar
zindagī kī anjuman meñ marsiya-ḳhvānī na kar
kyā zarūrī hai ki ye dukh bāñTne vaale bhī hoñ
milne vāloñ se kabhī zikr-e-pareshānī na kar
ārzūoñ ko na rakh har chiiz se baḌh kar aziiz
tez tar kāñTe haiñ ye un kī nigahbānī na kar
vaqt ke bigḌe hue atvār kā andāz dekh
zindagī meñ har-qadam par apnī man-mānī na kar
kashtī-o-tūfān ke ik naaz se rishte ko samajh
halqa-e-tūfāñ meñ rah kar apnī man-mānī na kar
'arsh' is meñ talḳhī-e-ġham ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ
tū kitāb-e-zindagī kī safha-gardānī na kar
be-tarah in mein ulajh jaega nadani na kar
waqiat-e-umr-e-rafta par nazar sani na kar
dil pe jo guzri hai us par ashk-afshani na kar
zindagi ki anjuman mein marsiya-KHwani na kar
kya zaruri hai ki ye dukh banTne wale bhi hon
milne walon se kabhi zikr-e-pareshani na kar
aarzuon ko na rakh har chiz se baDh kar aziz
tez tar kanTe hain ye un ki nigahbani na kar
waqt ke bigDe hue atwar ka andaz dekh
zindagi mein har-qadam par apni man-mani na kar
kashti-o-tufan ke ek naz se rishte ko samajh
halqa-e-tufan mein rah kar apni man-mani na kar
'arsh' is mein talKHi-e-gham ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
tu kitab-e-zindagi ki safha-gardani na kar
