dil ko mamnun-e-tamanna na karo
yahi achchha hai ki achchha na karo

hum to har chot ko angez karen
tum koi baat gawara na karo

marg-o-hasti mein kashakash hogi
naghma-o-husn ko yakja na karo

raushni had se ziyaada na badhe
samne mere andhera na karo

ai 'munawar' na karo pesh-e-awam
mere ashaar ko ruswa na karo
