Majnu nay sheher chora, tu Sehraa bhi chor day,
Nizaray ki hawas ho tu Laila bhi chor day,
Wa'az ! kamal-e-tarq say milti hai yaan muraad,
Duniya jo chor di hai to uqbaa bhi chor day,
Taqleed ki rawish say tu behtar hai Khud-Kushi,
Rasta bhi dhoond, Hizar ka soda bhi chor day,
Manand-e-Khama Teri zuban per hai harf-e-gair,
Begana Shay pay Nazish-e-Be_Jaa bhi chor day,
Lutaf-e-Qalaam kya jo naa ho dil mein DARD-e-ISHQ,
Bismil nahi hai tu to Tarapna bhi chor day,
Shabnam ki tarah phoolon pay ro,aur chaman say Chal,
Iss Baagh mein Qayaam ka soda bhi chor day,
Acha hai dil kay pass rahay pasban_e_Aqal,
Lakin kabhi kabhi issay tanha bhi chor day,
Hai Ashiqui mein rasam alag sab say bethna,
But-Khana bhi, Haram bhi, Kaleesa bhi chor day ...

Abandon temple, mosque, and church also
This is not business, this is ‘ibadat of God!
O ignorant one, abandon the longing for reward also
It is good to guard Intuition with Intellect
But sometimes you should let it go alone also
What life is that which is dependent on others?
Abandon dependence on the life of fame also
Repeated request is a kind of boldness! O Kaleem
The condition for approbation is to abandon urging also
As the preacher brought proof in support of wine
Iqbal insists that he should abandon drinking also.
