main jo rota hun to kahte ho ki aisa na karo
maiñ jo rotā huuñ to kahte ho ki aisā na karo
tum agar merī jagah ho to bhalā kyā na karo
ab to ai dil havas-e-sāġhar-o-mīnā na karo
chhoḌ bhī do ye taqāzā ye taqāzā na karo
dil pe ai dost qayāmat sī guzar jaatī hai
tum nigāh-e-ġhalat-andāz se dekhā na karo
phir bhī āñkheñ unheñ har baat batā detī haiñ
dil to kahtā hai kisī baat kā charchā na karo
ab mirā dard mirī jaan huā jaatā hai
ai mire chāragaro ab mujhe achchhā na karo
ye sar-e-bazm mirī samt ishāre kaise
maiñ tamāshā to nahīñ merā tamāshā na karo
mil hī jaatī hai kabhī yaas meñ taskīn mujhe
ai umīdo mujhe aise meñ to chheḌā na karo
us ne 'shahzād' tirī baat ko Thukrā hī diyā
maiñ na kahtā thā ki iz.hār-e-tamannā na karo
main jo rota hun to kahte ho ki aisa na karo
tum agar meri jagah ho to bhala kya na karo
ab to ai dil hawas-e-saghar-o-mina na karo
chhoD bhi do ye taqaza ye taqaza na karo
dil pe ai dost qayamat si guzar jati hai
tum nigah-e-ghalat-andaz se dekha na karo
phir bhi aankhen unhen har baat bata deti hain
dil to kahta hai kisi baat ka charcha na karo
ab mera dard meri jaan hua jata hai
ai mere chaaragaro ab mujhe achchha na karo
ye sar-e-bazm meri samt ishaare kaise
main tamasha to nahin mera tamasha na karo
mil hi jati hai kabhi yas mein taskin mujhe
ai umido mujhe aise mein to chheDa na karo
us ne 'shahzad' teri baat ko Thukra hi diya
main na kahta tha ki izhaar-e-tamanna na karo
