kabhi is makan se guzar gaya kabhi us makan se guzar gaya
tere aastan ki talash mein har aastan se guzar gaya

kabhi mehr-o-mah-o-nujum se kabhi kahkashan se guzar gaya
jo tere khayal mein chal pada wo kahan kahan se guzar gaya

abhi aadmi hai fazaon mein abhi ud raha hai khalaon mein
ye na jaane pahunchega kis jagah agar aasman se guzar gaya

ye mera kamal-e-gunah sahi magar is ko dekh mere khuda
mujhe tu ne roka jahan jahan main wahan wahan se guzar gaya

jise log kahte hain zindagi wo to hadson ka hujum hai
wo to kahiye mera hi kaam tha ki main darmiyan se guzar gaya

main murad-e-shauq ko pa ke bhi na murad-e-shauq ko pa sakun
dar-e-mehrban pe pahunch ke bhi dar-e-mehrban se guzar gaya

chalo 'arsh' mahfil-e-dost mein ki payam-e-dost bhi hai yahi
wo jo hadisa tha firaq ka sar-e-dushmanan se guzar gaya
