dil ke kahne pe chalun aql ka kahna na karun
main isi soch mein hun kya karun aur kya na karun

zindagi apni kisi tarah basar karna hai
kya karun aah agar teri tamanna na karun

majlis-e-waz mein kya meri zarurat naseh
ghar mein baitha hua shughl-e-mai-o-mina na karun

mast hai haal mein dil be-khabar-e-mustaqbil
sochta hun use hushyar karun ya na karun

kis tarah husn-e-zaban ki ho taraqqi 'wahshat'
main agar khidmat-e-urdu-e-mualla na karun
