zindagi ki chahat mein zindagi se mat khelo
raushni ke diwano raushni se mat khelo

ai butan-e-be-parwa kuchh khuda nahin ho tum
pyar ki khudai mein bandagi se mat khelo

aap hi ne kar dala zindagi se begana
aap hi to kahte the zindagi se mat khelo

pyar dil ka sauda hai aql dil ki bimari
dosti ke parde mein dosti se mat khelo

raushni ki khwahish mein jal uthe na pairahan
raushni mein shoale hain raushni se mat khelo

tum se kuchh nahin matlab han magar khirad-mando
hum junun-paraston ki aagahi se mat khelo

naghma-e-tamanna se khun-e-dil tapakta hai
ishraton ke matawalo shairi se mat khelo

mehr-o-mah rahte hain tirgi ke sine mein
bhul kar 'rais'-akhtar tirgi se mat khelo
