gila kisi se dil-e-sogwar mat karna
jo be-sukun hai use be-qarar mat karna

khizan ki zid hai ki ye karobar mat karna
kali se phul se khushbu se pyar mat karna

junun hazar sahi apna daman-e-kirdar
darida karna magar dagh-dar mat karna

na main charagh na main aasman ka tara
sawad-e-sham mera intizar mat karna

kahin kahin pe khamoshi bhi jurm hoti hai
har ek jagah pe sukut ikhtiyar mat karna

fareb khae hain itna ki dil ye kahta hai
bahaar mein bhi yaqin-e-bahaar mat karna

usi se jati hai insan ki aabru 'zakir'
ghalat shiar kabhi ikhtiyar mat karna
