ab to kuchh aur bhi andhera hai

ab to kuchh aur bhī añdherā hai

ye mirī raat kā saverā hai

rahzanoñ se to bhaag niklā thā

ab mujhe rahbaroñ ne gherā hai

aage aage chalo tabar vaalo

abhī jañgal bahut ghanerā hai

qāfila kis kī pairvī meñ chale

kaun sab se baḌā luTerā hai

sar pe raahī ke sarbarāhī ne

kyā safā.ī kā haath pherā hai

surma-ālūd ḳhushk āñsuoñ ne

nūr-e-jāñ ḳhaak par bikherā hai

raakh raakh ustuḳhvāñ safed safed

yahī manzil yahī baserā hai

ai mirī jaan apne jī ke sivā

kaun terā hai kaun merā hai

so raho ab 'hafīz' jī tum bhī

ye na.ī zindagī kā Derā hai

ab to kuchh aur bhi andhera hai

ye meri raat ka sawera hai

rahzanon se to bhag nikla tha

ab mujhe rahbaron ne ghera hai

aage aage chalo tabar walo

abhi jangal bahut ghanera hai

qafila kis ki pairwi mein chale

kaun sab se baDa luTera hai

sar pe rahi ke sarbarahi ne

kya safai ka hath phera hai

surma-alud KHushk aansuon ne

nur-e-jaan KHak par bikhera hai

rakh rakh ustuKHwan safed safed

yahi manzil yahi basera hai

ai meri jaan apne ji ke siwa

kaun tera hai kaun mera hai

so raho ab 'hafiz' ji tum bhi

ye nai zindagi ka Dera hai
