tumhein zeba nahin hargiz sile ki aarzu rakhna
tumheñ zebā nahīñ hargiz sile kī aarzū rakhnā
tumhārā kaam hai 'ātish' qalam kī aabrū rakhnā
agar dil meñ tamannā-e-nashāt-e-rañg-o-bū rakhnā
ma.āl-e-ḳhanda-gul ko bhī apne rū-ba-rū rakhnā
ye mai-ḳhāna hai mai-ḳhāna taqaddus us kā lāzim hai
yahāñ jo bhī qadam rakhnā hamesha bā-vazū rakhnā
kahīñ tauq-o-salāsil haiñ kahīñ zahr-e-halāhal hai
mujhe har āzmā.ish meñ ilāhī surḳh-rū rakhnā
zamāne par kise ma.alūm kaisā baar guzrā hai
mirā haqq-o-sadāqat par madār-e-guftugū rakhnā
na mil paa.e surāġh-e-manzil-e-jānāñ na mil paa.e
hamārā kaam hai jaarī talāsh-o-justujū rakhnā
tumhein zeba nahin hargiz sile ki aarzu rakhna
tumhaara kaam hai 'atish' qalam ki aabru rakhna
agar dil mein tamanna-e-nashat-e-rang-o-bu rakhna
maal-e-KHanda-gul ko bhi apne ru-ba-ru rakhna
ye mai-KHana hai mai-KHana taqaddus us ka lazim hai
yahan jo bhi qadam rakhna hamesha ba-wazu rakhna
kahin tauq-o-salasil hain kahin zahr-e-halahal hai
mujhe har aazmaish mein ilahi surKH-ru rakhna
zamane par kise malum kaisa bar guzra hai
mera haqq-o-sadaqat par madar-e-guftugu rakhna
na mil pae suragh-e-manzil-e-jaanan na mil pae
hamara kaam hai jari talash-o-justuju rakhna
