mujhe shad rakhna ki nashad rakhna
mere dida o dil ko aabaad rakhna

bhulai nahin ja sakengi ye baaten
tumhein yaad aaenge hum yaad rakhna

wo nashad o barbaad rakhte hain mujh ko
ilahi unhen shad o aabaad rakhna

tumhein bhi qasam hai ki jo sar jhuka de
usi ko tah-e-tegh-e-bedad rakhna

milenge tumhein rah mein but-kade bhi
zara apne allah ko yaad rakhna

jahan bhi nashe mein qadam ladkhadaen
wahin ek masjid ki buniyaad rakhna

sitaron pe chalte hue ibn-e-adam
nazar mein farishton ki uftad rakhna

'hafiz' apne afkar ki sadgi ko
takalluf ki uljhan se aazad rakhna
