qadam qadam pe wafa ka dayar rah mein hai
khusha ki naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa-e-yar rah mein hai

har ek mauj mein saz-e-fareb hai jis ki
wo ek sarab ba-har-e'tibar rah mein hai

ye ud rahi hai jo khun-rang khak har jaanib
kisi shahid-e-junun ka mazar rah mein hai

na koi baat na maqsad na aarzu na sawal
bas ek ghalghala-e-gir-o-dar rah mein hai

sukun-e-shab hama naghma faza-e-shab hama nur
magar abhi koi shab-zinda-dar rah mein hai

pahunch chuke hain idhar ham-safar sar-e-manzil
udhar abhi khalish-e-intizar rah mein hai

qadam qadam pe gareban qadam qadam pe lahu
yahi to ek subut-e-bahaar rah mein hai

teri talab ke taqaze tere husul ke khwab
teri talash bahar-e'tibar rah mein hai
