ye sarab tu fareb e nazar hai'  khayaal rakhna 
na manzil koie, na  rehguzar hai' khayaal  rakhna 

kaheen  bhi kunj e khayabaan  e  sakoon  moyassir naheen ! 
ye dhast e tapaan tu be~shajar hai' khayaal rakhna 

badalti rutoN ke saaye heiN ja ba ja 
musam e chashman e tar hai' khayaal rakhna 

"reh e talab ke  musafiroN se  koie ye  kehde" 
"us be~wafa ka shehr hai" '  khayaal rakhna 

chehre  chehre  heiN  ajnabi  soorteN 
 na koie yaaN mo'tabar hai' khayaal rakhna 

milta naheen hai jadah e manzil ka nishaan 
aur tanha tanha safar hai ' khayaal  rakhna 

 dil e mo'tabar thehr ! nikle na aah kisi ke liye 
raat  ka  aakhri  pehr  hai '  khayaal  rakhna 

jo baat ho kehna'  souch samajh  ke kehna 
ye baab' baab e hunar hai 'khayaal rakhna 

kiya  intiqaam  lena  ab  "us se"  Swaleh 
"woh" tu khud dar badar hai' khayaal rakhna
