jo guzar dushman hai us ka rahguzar rakkha hai nam
zat se apni na hilne ka safar rakkha hai nam

pad gaya hai ek bhanwar us ko samajh baithe hain ghar
lahr uthi hai lahr ka diwar-o-dar rakkha hai nam

nam jis ka bhi nikal jae usi par hai madar
us ka hona ya na hona kya, magar rakkha hai nam

hum yahan khud aae hain laya nahin koi hamein
aur khuda ka hum ne apne nam par rakkha hai nam

chaak-e-chaaki dekh kar pairahan-e-pahnai ki
main ne apne har nafs ka bakhiya-gar rakkha hai nam

mera sina koi chhalni bhi agar kar de to kya
main ne to ab apne sine ka sipar rakkha hai nam

din hue par tu kahin hona kisi bhi shakl mein
jag kar khwabon ne tera raat bhar rakkha hai nam
