waqar de ke kabhi be-waqar mat karna

vaqār de ke kabhī be-vaqār mat karnā

hameñ ḳhudā ke liye sharmsār mat karnā

nikalnā jab kabhī le kar charāġh bastī meñ

añdhere ghar bhī mileñge shumār mat karnā

usī kā aaj bhī ham intizār karte haiñ

jo kah gayā thā mirā intizār mat karnā

ye maanā aaj zamāna hai bevafā.ī kā

magar tum aisā chalan iḳhtiyār mat karnā

safar ke maare hue āsmān ke panchhī

sukūñ se baiThe haiñ un kā shikār mat karnā

dil iztirāb kī had se guzar gayā ai dost

nayā ab aur koī mujh pe vaar mat karnā

kahīñ bikhar ke na rah jaa.e ġham fazāoñ meñ

qabā-e-ġhuncha-e-dil tār-tār mat karnā

mirī ḳhatā ko karam kī ridā uḌhā denā

mujhe zamāne kī nazroñ meñ ḳhvār mat karnā

jab iḳhtilāf meñ sar ko uThā.e hoñ maujeñ

to ai 'guhar' kabhī dariyā ko paar mat karnā

waqar de ke kabhi be-waqar mat karna

hamein KHuda ke liye sharmsar mat karna

nikalna jab kabhi le kar charagh basti mein

andhere ghar bhi milenge shumar mat karna

usi ka aaj bhi hum intizar karte hain

jo kah gaya tha mera intizar mat karna

ye mana aaj zamana hai bewafai ka

magar tum aisa chalan iKHtiyar mat karna

safar ke mare hue aasman ke panchhi

sukun se baiThe hain un ka shikar mat karna

dil iztirab ki had se guzar gaya ai dost

naya ab aur koi mujh pe war mat karna

kahin bikhar ke na rah jae gham fazaon mein

qaba-e-ghuncha-e-dil tar-tar mat karna

meri KHata ko karam ki rida uDha dena

mujhe zamane ki nazron mein KHwar mat karna

jab iKHtilaf mein sar ko uThae hon maujen

to ai 'guhar' kabhi dariya ko par mat karna
