tum aisa karna ki koi jugnu koi sitara sambhaal rakhna

tum aisā karnā ki koī jugnū koī sitāra sambhāl rakhnā

mire añdheroñ kī fikr chhoḌo bas apne ghar kā ḳhayāl rakhnā

ujaaḌ mausam meñ ret-dhartī pe fasl boī thī chāñdnī kī

ab us meñ ugne lage añdhere to kaisā jī meñ malāl rakhnā

dayār-e-ulfat meñ ajnabī ko safar hai dar-pesh zulmatoñ kā

kahīñ vo rāhoñ meñ kho na jaa.e zarā darīcha ujaal rakhnā

bichhaḌne vaale ne vaqt-e-ruḳhsat kuchh is nazar se palaT ke dekhā

ki jaise vo bhī ye kah rahā ho tum apne ghar kā ḳhayāl rakhnā

ye dhuup chhāñv kā khel hai yā ḳhizāñ bahāroñ kī ghaat meñ hai

nasīb sub.h-e-urūj ho to nazar meñ shām-e-zavāl rakhnā

kise ḳhabar hai ki kab ye mausam uḌā ke rakh degā ḳhaak 'āzar'

tum ehtiyātan zamīñ ke sar par falak kī chādar hī Daal rakhnā

tum aisa karna ki koi jugnu koi sitara sambhaal rakhna

mere andheron ki fikr chhoDo bas apne ghar ka KHayal rakhna

ujaD mausam mein ret-dharti pe fasl boi thi chandni ki

ab us mein ugne lage andhere to kaisa ji mein malal rakhna

dayar-e-ulfat mein ajnabi ko safar hai dar-pesh zulmaton ka

kahin wo rahon mein kho na jae zara daricha ujal rakhna

bichhaDne wale ne waqt-e-ruKHsat kuchh is nazar se palaT ke dekha

ki jaise wo bhi ye kah raha ho tum apne ghar ka KHayal rakhna

ye dhup chhanw ka khel hai ya KHizan bahaaron ki ghat mein hai

nasib subh-e-uruj ho to nazar mein sham-e-zawal rakhna

kise KHabar hai ki kab ye mausam uDa ke rakh dega KHak 'azar'

tum ehtiyatan zamin ke sar par falak ki chadar hi Dal rakhna
