apne hī ḳhuun se is tarah adāvat mat kar
zinda rahnā hai to sāñsoñ se baġhāvat mat kar

siikh le pahle ujāloñ kī hifāzat karnā
sham.a bujh jaa.e to āñdhī se shikāyat mat kar

sar kī bāzār-e-siyāsat meñ nahīñ hai qīmat
sar pe jab taaj nahīñ hai to hukūmat mat kar

ḳhvāb ho jaam ho taara ho ki mahbūb kā dil
TūTne vaalī kisī shai se mohabbat mat kar

dekh phir dast-e-zarūrat meñ na bik jaa.e zamīr
zar ke badle meñ usūloñ kī tijārat mat kar

pursish-e-hāl se ho jā.eñge phir zaḳhm hare
is se behtar hai yahī merī ayādat mat kar

sar jhukāne ko hī sajda nahīñ kahte 'dānā'
jis meñ dil bhī na jhuke aisī ibādat mat kar

apne hi KHun se is tarah adawat mat kar
zinda rahna hai to sanson se baghawat mat kar

sikh le pahle ujalon ki hifazat karna
shama bujh jae to aandhi se shikayat mat kar

sar ki bazar-e-siyasat mein nahin hai qimat
sar pe jab taj nahin hai to hukumat mat kar

KHwab ho jam ho tara ho ki mahbub ka dil
TuTne wali kisi shai se mohabbat mat kar

dekh phir dast-e-zarurat mein na bik jae zamir
zar ke badle mein usulon ki tijarat mat kar

pursish-e-haal se ho jaenge phir zaKHm hare
is se behtar hai yahi meri ayaadat mat kar

sar jhukane ko hi sajda nahin kahte 'dana'
jis mein dil bhi na jhuke aisi ibaadat mat kar
