dil par rakho nigah jigar par nazar karo
maqdur ho to zat mein apni safar karo

hangam-e-khair-maqdam-e-subh-e-nashat hai
parwana-war sham se raqs-e-sharar karo

zanjir todna bhi bada kaam tha magar
fursat mein ho to zinat-e-diwar-o-dar karo

mayus-kun hai aalam-e-imkan abhi to kya
duniya-e-mumkinat pe apni nazar karo

jo gham bhi de hayat khushi se qubul ho
itna to ehtimam gham-e-mo'tabar karo

apnon ko to nibahane wale hazar hain
insan ho to dil mein adu ke bhi ghar karo

jata nahin ye tir kisi haal mein khata
har marhala hayat ka ulfat se sar karo

sab lut rahe hain bar-sar-e-bazar in dinon
kis se kahen ki qadr-e-mata-e-hunar karo

ek rahguzar manzil-e-masti hai mai-kada
har rind ko khushi se sharik-e-safar karo

ai 'dil' bahut kharab hain haalat shahr ke
yan jis kisi se baat karo mukhtasar karo
