karna hai kar-e-KHair to phir sar na dekhna

karnā hai kār-e-ḳhair to phir sar na dekhnā

barseñ jo terī zaat pe patthar na dekhnā

lagne lageñge dost bhī dushman sabhī tumheñ

ya.anī hai kis ke haath meñ ḳhanjar na dekhnā

rakhnā haqīqateñ bhī nigāhoñ ke sāmne

din raat sirf ḳhvāb kā manzar na dekhnā

rah jaa.e rañg-o-bū se ta.alluq tirā agar

phūloñ ko apne haath se chhū kar na dekhnā

jaanā agar hai paar to ho kar savār tum

kashtī ke saath saath samundar na dekhnā

ḳhud karnā zindagī se vafāoñ kā faisla

kyā kah rahā hai tum se muqaddar na dekhnā

masrūf apnī jañg meñ rahnā sadā magar

nazreñ uThā ke tum kabhī uupar na dekhnā

karna hai kar-e-KHair to phir sar na dekhna

barsen jo teri zat pe patthar na dekhna

lagne lagenge dost bhi dushman sabhi tumhein

yani hai kis ke hath mein KHanjar na dekhna

rakhna haqiqaten bhi nigahon ke samne

din raat sirf KHwab ka manzar na dekhna

rah jae rang-o-bu se talluq tera agar

phulon ko apne hath se chhu kar na dekhna

jaana agar hai par to ho kar sawar tum

kashti ke sath sath samundar na dekhna

KHud karna zindagi se wafaon ka faisla

kya kah raha hai tum se muqaddar na dekhna

masruf apni jang mein rahna sada magar

nazren uTha ke tum kabhi upar na dekhna
