jagte jagte umr basar ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai

jāgte jāgte umr basar ho aisā bhī ho saktā hai

pal meñ shab-e-furqat kī sahar ho aisā bhī ho saktā hai

jin logoñ ne jaan ke merā ghar kuchh patthar pheñkeñ haiñ

vo un kā apnā hī ghar ho aisā bhī ho saktā hai

aaj to bas patthar hī patthar apne sirhāne haiñ lekin

kal un kī āġhosh meñ sar ho aisā bhī ho saktā hai

raaz vo dil kā jis ko ham ne ab tak raaz hī rakkhā hai

lekin us kī sab ko ḳhabar ho aisā bhī ho saktā hai

duniyā jis ko 'faiz' samajh baiThe haiñ ham ik shīsh-mahal

vo bhī koī ret kā ghar ho aisā bhī ho saktā hai

jagte jagte umr basar ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai

pal mein shab-e-furqat ki sahar ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai

jin logon ne jaan ke mera ghar kuchh patthar phenken hain

wo un ka apna hi ghar ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai

aaj to bas patthar hi patthar apne sirhane hain lekin

kal un ki aaghosh mein sar ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai

raaz wo dil ka jis ko hum ne ab tak raaz hi rakkha hai

lekin us ki sab ko KHabar ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai

duniya jis ko 'faiz' samajh baiThe hain hum ek shish-mahal

wo bhi koi ret ka ghar ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai
