nafas nafas pe nayā soz-e-āgahī rakhnā
kisī kā dard bhī ho aañkh meñ namī rakhnā
vo tishna-lab huuñ ki merī anā kā hai me.aar
samundaroñ se bhī paimān-e-tishnagī rakhnā
rafāqatoñ ke tasalsul se jī na bhar jaa.e
judā.iyoñ kā bhī mausam kabhī kabhī rakhnā
vafā kisī pe koī qarz to nahīñ hotī
jo ho sake to hamārā ḳhayāl bhī rakhnā
kahīñ sitam ke añdhere na ruuh ko Das leñ
fasīl-e-jism pe zaḳhmoñ kī raushnī rakhnā
charāġh-e-sub.h sahī ham hamāre maslak meñ
ravā nahīñ hai añdheroñ se dostī rakhnā
ajiib shaḳhs hai vo bhī ki us ko aatā hai
gurez meñ bhī adā-e-supurdagī rakhnā
ta.alluqāt meñ raḳhne bhī Daal detā hai
har aadmī se umīdeñ na.ī na.ī rakhnā
hamārā kaam hai harfoñ ko raushnī de kar
ḳhud apne zarf meñ chiñgāriyāñ dabī rakhnā
havā-e-shab kā nahīñ e.atibār ai 'shā.ir'
hazār niiñd ho āñkheñ magar khulī rakhnā
nafas nafas pe naya soz-e-agahi rakhna
kisi ka dard bhi ho aankh mein nami rakhna
wo tishna-lab hun ki meri ana ka hai mear
samundaron se bhi paiman-e-tishnagi rakhna
rafaqaton ke tasalsul se ji na bhar jae
judaiyon ka bhi mausam kabhi kabhi rakhna
wafa kisi pe koi qarz to nahin hoti
jo ho sake to hamara KHayal bhi rakhna
kahin sitam ke andhere na ruh ko Das len
fasil-e-jism pe zaKHmon ki raushni rakhna
charagh-e-subh sahi hum hamare maslak mein
rawa nahin hai andheron se dosti rakhna
ajib shaKHs hai wo bhi ki us ko aata hai
gurez mein bhi ada-e-supurdagi rakhna
talluqat mein raKHne bhi Dal deta hai
har aadmi se umiden nai nai rakhna
hamara kaam hai harfon ko raushni de kar
KHud apne zarf mein chingariyan dabi rakhna
hawa-e-shab ka nahin eatibar ai 'shair'
hazar nind ho aankhen magar khuli rakhna
