zabt-e-nala dil-e-figar na kar
aag ko aur shoala-bar na kar

shab-e-gham dagh-e-dil ki shama jala
chand-taron ka intizar na kar

shauq se phul chun chaman mein magar
khar-o-khas ko zalil-o-khwar na kar

mah-o-anjum pe dal badh ke kamand
past zarron par apna war na kar

gamzan ho jo shauq-e-manzil hai
rah ke pech-o-kham shumar na kar

aur paida kar apne khun se phul
raat-din matam-e-bahaar na kar

subh ka saz bhi to chhed zara
sham ka zikr bar bar na kar

sar-nigun ho na maut ke aage
zindagani ko sharmsar na kar

kuchh mizaj-e-gul-o-saman bhi samajh
sirf nazzara-e-bahaar na kar

aag se khelna nahin achchha
bhul kar bhi kisi ko pyar na kar

dusron ka to zikr ishq mein kya
apne dil par bhi eatibar na kar

khar ko bhi nazar mein rakh 'rana'
gul se andaza-e-bahaar na kar
