ye qadam qadam kashakash dil be-qarar kya hai

ye qadam qadam kashakash dil be-qarar kya hai
jo yaqin na ho amal par to nashat-e-kar kya hai
ba-khuda nasim-e-gulshan teri wahshaton ke sadqe
ye mizaj-e-nama-bar hai to mizaj-e-yar kya hai


wo karam na ho sitam ho koi baat kam se kam ho
ye ada-e-be-niyazi mere gham-gusar kya hai
ye hum ahl-e-gham ki manzil hai dabe qadam guzar ja
ki ajal yahan ke fitnon mein tera shumar kya hai


abhi aa ke naghma-e-dil ki bahaar dekh jao
main nawa-e-khud-shikan hun mera e'tibar kya hai
