un se kah do ki ilaj-e-dil-e-shaida na karen
un se kah do ki ilāj-e-dil-e-shaidā na kareñ
yahī achchhā hai ki bīmār ko achchhā na kareñ
kyā kahā phir to kaho ham koī shikvā na kareñ
chup raheñ zulm saheñ zulm kā charchā na kareñ
ye tamāshā to kareñ ruḳh se uThā deñ vo naqāb
ek aalam ko magar mahv-e-tamāshā na kareñ
vaqt-e-āḳhir to nikal jaa.e tamannā merī
vo na aise meñ bhī aa.eñ kahīñ aisā na kareñ
intihā ho ga.ī āzād-dahī kī sayyād
ham tasavvur meñ bhī gulzār ko dekhā na kareñ
roz vo kahte haiñ aaj ā.eñge kal ā.eñge
aise va.ade se to behtar hai ki va.adā na kareñ
ḳhud-numā.ī unheñ ġhairoñ meñ liye phirtī hai
ham to jab jāneñ ki ham se bhī vo pardā na kareñ
teġh ruk jaatī hai nāvak bhī bahak jaatā hai
koī 'bismil' ko ye samjhā de ki taḌpā na kareñ
un se kah do ki ilaj-e-dil-e-shaida na karen
yahi achchha hai ki bimar ko achchha na karen
kya kaha phir to kaho hum koi shikwa na karen
chup rahen zulm sahen zulm ka charcha na karen
ye tamasha to karen ruKH se uTha den wo naqab
ek aalam ko magar mahw-e-tamasha na karen
waqt-e-aKHir to nikal jae tamanna meri
wo na aise mein bhi aaen kahin aisa na karen
intiha ho gai aazad-dahi ki sayyaad
hum tasawwur mein bhi gulzar ko dekha na karen
roz wo kahte hain aaj aaenge kal aaenge
aise wade se to behtar hai ki wada na karen
KHud-numai unhen ghairon mein liye phirti hai
hum to jab jaanen ki hum se bhi wo parda na karen
tegh ruk jati hai nawak bhi bahak jata hai
koi 'bismil' ko ye samjha de ki taDpa na karen
