be-tahi yahi hogi ye jahan kahin honge
sath katne wale sath-afrin honge

aaftab hat jae jhilmilane wale hi
aasman-e-viran mein raunaq aafrin honge

zindagi manane ko wahm bhi ghanimat hain
hum bhi wahm hi honge wahm agar nahin honge

ye jata diya aakhir mujh ko mere ajza ne
apne aap mein rahiye warna bas hamin honge

dil mera mudabbir hai band-o-bast-e-alam ka
masale kahin ke hon faisle yahin honge

mere sath aae hain mere sath jaenge
hon jahan qadam mere raste wahin honge

waqt ki sawari par jo ruki hui hogi
fasle karunga tai jo kahin nahin honge

rang-o-nur partaw hain jin ki tab-kari ke
tirgi ke wo jalwe kitne dil-nashin honge

sochiye to sahra hai dubiye to dariya hai
ek din 'muhib' sahab jis ke tah-nashin honge
