qadam qadam pe ajab hadsat-e-gham guzre
jahan jahan se teri justuju mein hum guzre

gham-e-hayat ko le kar jidhar se hum guzre
hujum-e-hadisa-e-nau-ba-nau baham guzre

na ras aae meri zindagi mujhe ai dost
kabhi garan jo mere dil pe tera gham guzre

qadam qadam pe hua imtihan-e-hosh-o-khirad
khuda ka shukr ki daman bacha ke hum guzre

nazar mein raqs-kunan hai tasawwur-e-rukh-e-dost
ye kah do baad-e-saba se dabe qadam guzre

jabin jhuke to simat aae aastan-e-habib
wo sajda kya jo ba-qaid-e-dar-e-haram guzre

mili jahan se mata-e-khushi zamane ko
hum us maqam se 'mahir' ba-chashm-e-nam guzre
