khayal itna sitam-ijad rakhna
wafaen kuchh hamari yaad rakhna

nahin shikwa jo rakkha hum ko nashad
qayamat hai adu ko shad rakhna

bata kya tha ki mujh ko qatl kar ke
jigar par hath o jallad rakhna

adu ke sath karna aish-o-ishrat
hamein o bewafa nashad rakhna

jo mahfil mein ho teri daur-e-saghar
zara saqi hamein bhi yaad rakhna

khinche us shokh ki taswir dilkash
ada koi nai bahzad rakhna

mujhe duniya se jis but ne mitaya
khudaya tu use aabaad rakhna

mera dil nazon ka pala hua hai
liye jate ho us ko shad rakhna

kahin mil jae dil us ka na ai dil
khayal itna dam-e-fariyaad rakhna

ghazab hai tujh ko o qatil na aaya
gale par khanjar-e-faulad rakhna

'diler' itna kahe dete hain tum se
khayal-e-khatir-e-jallad rakhna
