apni nakaam tamannaon ka matam na karo
tham gaya daur-e-mai-e-nab to kuchh gham na karo

aur bhi kitne tariqe hain bayan-e-gham ke
muskuraati hui aankhon ko to pur-nam na karo

han ye shamshir-e-hawadis ho to kuchh baat bhi hai
gardanen tauq-e-ghulami ke liye kham na karo

tum to ho rind tumhein mahfil-e-jam se kya kaam
bazm-e-jam ho gai barham to koi gham na karo

baada-e-kohna dhale saghar-e-nau mein 'fitrat'
zauq-e-fariyaad ko aazurda-e-matam na karo
