rah-e-hayat ko aasan bana sako to chalo
hamara sath agar tum nibha sako to chalo

nigah-e-naz ka jadu jaga sako to chalo
qadam qadam pe nae gul khila sako to chalo

rah-e-wafa mein ghamon ke bahut andhere hain
har ek haal mein tum muskura sako to chalo

mere khayal ki duniya hai mujh pe chhai hui
mere khayal ki duniya pe chha sako to chalo

bade khulus se chehre fareb dete hain
nigah ban ke dilon mein sama sako to chalo

saja ke raat ke mathe pe chand ka jhumar
mujhe andhere mein rasta dikha sako to chalo

nai hai rah to 'qaisar' nai nigah bhi ho
nai hayat ke naghme suna sako to chalo
