zinda hun abhi main mujhe be-dam na samajhna

zinda huuñ abhī maiñ mujhe be-dam na samajhnā

hālāt se is darja bhī barham na samajhnā

lā.egā junūñ rang mirā dekhnā ik din

sho.ala hī samajhnā mujhe shabnam na samajhnā

duniyā ye tire ḳhvāb sī raushan bhī nahīñ hai

āsān tū duniyā ko ai hamdam na samajhnā

'mahshar' haiñ ‘dilāvar’ haiñ haiñ ‘irfān’-o-‘as.ad’ bhī

maiñ bhī huuñ badāyūñ se mujhe kam na samajhnā

kyā dekhte ho 'qalb' mire ashk-e-alam ko

aañsū hai mirī aañkh kā zamzam na samajhnā

zinda hun abhi main mujhe be-dam na samajhna

haalat se is darja bhi barham na samajhna

laega junun rang mera dekhna ek din

shoala hi samajhna mujhe shabnam na samajhna

duniya ye tere KHwab si raushan bhi nahin hai

aasan tu duniya ko ai hamdam na samajhna

'mahshar' hain ‘dilawar’ hain hain ‘irfan’-o-‘asad’ bhi

main bhi hun badayun se mujhe kam na samajhna

kya dekhte ho 'qalb' mere ashk-e-alam ko

aansu hai meri aankh ka zamzam na samajhna
