muhafiz ho chaman ke tum to phir fikr-o-nazar rakh lo

muhāfiz ho chaman ke tum to phir fikr-o-nazar rakh lo

lahū kī gar zarūrat ho to kuchh ḳhūn-e-jigar rakh lo

husūl-e-ārzū meñ manzileñ dushvār hotī haiñ

agar sahrā se guzro to samundar kī ḳhabar rakh lo

tan-e-nāzuk aur us pe yuuñ ḳhirām-e-nāz se chalnā

ye shahr-e-sang hai patthar se bachne kā hunar rakh lo

kisī kī zaat pe uñglī uThāne se zarā pahle

zarā ik aa.ina shaffāf bhī zer-e-nazar rakh lo

havas har gaam pe madd-e-muqābil hogī ai ātish

batau-e-rahnumā aql-o-ḳhirad har gaam pe rakh lo

muhafiz ho chaman ke tum to phir fikr-o-nazar rakh lo

lahu ki gar zarurat ho to kuchh KHun-e-jigar rakh lo

husul-e-arzu mein manzilen dushwar hoti hain

agar sahra se guzro to samundar ki KHabar rakh lo

tan-e-nazuk aur us pe yun KHiram-e-naz se chalna

ye shahr-e-sang hai patthar se bachne ka hunar rakh lo

kisi ki zat pe ungli uThane se zara pahle

zara ek aaina shaffaf bhi zer-e-nazar rakh lo

hawas har gam pe madd-e-muqabil hogi ai aatish

batau-e-rahnuma aql-o-KHirad har gam pe rakh lo
