himmat kar ke par utarna dil chhoTa mat karna

himmat kar ke par utarna dil chhota mat karna
dariya ka hai kaam bipharna dil chhota mat karna
dil ko dard-e-hijr ne ghera tark-e-wafa par lekin
kuchh hafton ka hai ye dharna dil chhota mat karna


rona lekin aas na dil ki ro lene se tute
aankhon ko ashkon se bharna dil chhota mat karna
dil se nikle jab koi to ghar bhi kahan aata hai
aangan chhota be-shak karna dil chhota mat karna


us ke marne se thodi na qadr-e-husn ghategi
ba'd 'malal' ke aur sanwarna dil chhota mat karna
