na kar kisi ki mohabbat ka eatibar na kar
tamam umr tamanna ko sogwar na kar

khulus-e-dil hai badi chiz zindagi ke liye
zara se gham mein gareban ko tar tar na kar

jabin-e-shauq ko pamal kar na yas ke nam
yun zulm apni jawani pe be-shumar na kar

unhen to sham dhale nind aa gai hogi
sahar ke waqt sitaron ka intizar na kar

kaha tha us ne tumhein pyar hum bhi karte hain
to us ki baaton ka aise to eatibar na kar

ye jaan kar bhi ki london pe 'raj hai us ka
tu meri man le us par yun ikhtiyar na kar
