Mat Socho!

Aur us ne
Mere saghar me
Mae surkh undeli  to kaha
                    mat socho!

Tum yahan aye ho
Is mulk ke
Is sheher ke
Is hajla e taskeen me jahan
Sab ke sab raqsan kunan
Naghma e balb
Mast ada
mat socho!
Jagti rat
Ke chehre pe he khushbu ki rida
                     mat socho!


Tum bhi kia log ho
Perdais bhi aatey ho
To le aatey ho
Beemar shab o roz o dil e figar
Azizan e watan ki yaden

Apni zholida o bosida qamizon ki tarha
Jin ke dhabbon ko
Khud kar machinen bhi nahin dho saktin

Ye jo zangar hen ghurbat ke
Khud azar jo tarikiyan zehnon ki hen
Aalaishen jismon ki hen
Is tarha sanbhale huey phirtey ho
Ke jese ye tmhare dil o jaan hon
Is ghari tum ho jahan
Mumlikat khawab nahin
Yaan kisi soch ka gurdab nahin
Zindagi mae ki tarha
Shokh he tarrar he zehrab nahin

Apne kashkol ko dehleez per rakh ao
ke dre waza gari
Is jaga shamil e adaab nahin
Mat socho!
