dil abhī tak javān hai pyāre
kis musībat meñ jaan hai pyāre

tū mire haal kā ḳhayāl na kar
is meñ bhī ek shaan hai pyāre

talḳh kar dī hai zindagī jis ne
kitnī mīThī zabān hai pyāre

vaqt kam hai na chheḌ hijr kī baat
ye baḌī dāstān hai pyāre

jaane kyā kah diyā thā roz-e-azal
aaj tak imtihān hai pyāre

ham haiñ bande magar tire bande
ye hamārī bhī shaan hai pyāre

naam hai is kā nāseh-e-mushfiq
ye mirā mehrbān hai pyāre

kab kiyā maiñ ne ishq kā daavā
terā apnā gumān hai pyāre

maiñ tujhe bevafā nahīñ kahtā
dushmanoñ kā bayān hai pyāre

saarī duniyā ko hai ġhalat-fahmī
mujh pe to mehrbān hai pyāre

tere kūche meñ hai sukūñ varna
har zamīñ āsmān hai pyāre

ḳhair fariyād be-asar hī sahī
zindagī kā nishān hai pyāre

sharm hai ehtirāz hai kyā hai
parda sā darmiyān hai pyāre

arz-e-matlab samajh ke ho na ḳhafā
ye to ik dāstān hai pyāre

jañg chhiḌ jaa.e ham agar kah deñ
ye hamārī zabān hai pyāre

dil abhi tak jawan hai pyare
kis musibat mein jaan hai pyare

tu mere haal ka KHayal na kar
is mein bhi ek shan hai pyare

talKH kar di hai zindagi jis ne
kitni miThi zaban hai pyare

waqt kam hai na chheD hijr ki baat
ye baDi dastan hai pyare

jaane kya kah diya tha roz-e-azal
aaj tak imtihan hai pyare

hum hain bande magar tere bande
ye hamari bhi shan hai pyare

nam hai is ka naseh-e-mushfiq
ye mera mehrban hai pyare

kab kiya main ne ishq ka dawa
tera apna guman hai pyare

main tujhe bewafa nahin kahta
dushmanon ka bayan hai pyare

sari duniya ko hai ghalat-fahmi
mujh pe to mehrban hai pyare

tere kuche mein hai sukun warna
har zamin aasman hai pyare

KHair fariyaad be-asar hi sahi
zindagi ka nishan hai pyare

sharm hai ehtiraaz hai kya hai
parda sa darmiyan hai pyare

arz-e-matlab samajh ke ho na KHafa
ye to ek dastan hai pyare

jang chhiD jae hum agar kah den
ye hamari zaban hai pyare
