ḳhudā jaane navā-e-be-fuġhāñ se kaun guzrā hai
ba-ḳhāmoshī hamārī dāstāñ se kaun guzrā hai
nadāmat lāla-o-gul kī pareshāñ bū-e-pairāhan
hameñ ma.alūm hai is gulsitāñ se kaun guzrā hai
thī me.arāj-e-mohabbat yā urūj-e-azmat-e-insāñ
farishte chup makān-o-lā-makāñ se kaun guzrā hai
shikasta naav shab tārīk sāhil duur tūfāñ tez
magar bā-īñ-hama mauj-e-ravāñ se kaun guzrā hai
ye kis kī ābla-pā.ī se ḳhār-o-sang haiñ gul-gūñ
talab kī raah meñ har imtihāñ se kaun guzrā hai
liye apnī jabīñ par muztarib sajdoñ kā nazrāna
pa.e-yak-āstāñ har āstāñ se kaun guzrā hai
hamāre baad bhī jo aane vaale haiñ vo pūchheñge
ye haiñ naqsh-e-qadam kis ke yahāñ se kaun guzrā hai
KHuda jaane nawa-e-be-fughan se kaun guzra hai
ba-KHamoshi hamari dastan se kaun guzra hai
nadamat lala-o-gul ki pareshan bu-e-pairahan
hamein malum hai is gulsitan se kaun guzra hai
thi mearaj-e-mohabbat ya uruj-e-azmat-e-insan
farishte chup makan-o-la-makan se kaun guzra hai
shikasta naw shab tarik sahil dur tufan tez
magar ba-in-hama mauj-e-rawan se kaun guzra hai
ye kis ki aabla-pai se KHar-o-sang hain gul-gun
talab ki rah mein har imtihan se kaun guzra hai
liye apni jabin par muztarib sajdon ka nazrana
pae-yak-astan har aastan se kaun guzra hai
hamare baad bhi jo aane wale hain wo puchhenge
ye hain naqsh-e-qadam kis ke yahan se kaun guzra hai
