mujhe shad rakhna ki nashad rakhna

mujhe shaad rakhnā ki nāshād rakhnā

mire diida o dil ko ābād rakhnā

bhulā.ī nahīñ jā sakeñgī ye bāteñ

tumheñ yaad ā.eñge ham yaad rakhnā

vo nāshād o barbād rakhte haiñ mujh ko

ilāhī unheñ shaad o ābād rakhnā

tumheñ bhī qasam hai ki jo sar jhukā de

usī ko tah-e-teġh-e-bedād rakhnā

mileñge tumheñ raah meñ but-kade bhī

zarā apne allāh ko yaad rakhnā

jahāñ bhī nashe meñ qadam laḌkhaḌā.eñ

vahīñ ek masjid kī buniyād rakhnā

sitāroñ pe chalte hue ibn-e-ādam

nazar meñ farishtoñ kī uftād rakhnā

'hafīz' apne afkār kī sādgī ko

takalluf kī uljhan se āzād rakhnā

mujhe shad rakhna ki nashad rakhna

mere dida o dil ko aabaad rakhna

bhulai nahin ja sakengi ye baaten

tumhein yaad aaenge hum yaad rakhna

wo nashad o barbaad rakhte hain mujh ko

ilahi unhen shad o aabaad rakhna

tumhein bhi qasam hai ki jo sar jhuka de

usi ko tah-e-tegh-e-bedad rakhna

milenge tumhein rah mein but-kade bhi

zara apne allah ko yaad rakhna

jahan bhi nashe mein qadam laDkhaDaen

wahin ek masjid ki buniyaad rakhna

sitaron pe chalte hue ibn-e-adam

nazar mein farishton ki uftad rakhna

'hafiz' apne afkar ki sadgi ko

takalluf ki uljhan se aazad rakhna
