na itna tez chalo ki thak jao
na itna ruk ruk ke chalo ki jam jao

na kholo lab yun bhi
na in ko itna band karo

ki jin par na shabnam bhi thahar pae
na do aawaz itni aahista

jise sunne ke liye ruh bhi taras jae
na us ko itna badhao

ki mera wajud mere liye azab ban jae
na raho itne masrur

ki main hakim-e-waqt ban jaun
na raho udas itne

ki main waqt se pahle hi be-maut mar jaun
na is qadar bikhrao apni zulfon ko

ki ghane ghane sae bhi saham jaen
na un ko itna sanwaro

ki chalte log rah mein ruk jaen
na raho itne dur ki main taras jaun

na aao itne qarib ki main jhulas jaun
na itna tez chalo ki thak jao

na itna ruk ruk ke chalo ki jam jao
