guru-nanak jise kahte hain wo ek mard-e-kaamil tha
ki us ke pas sine mein taqaddus-afrin dil tha

wo gunja naghma-e-nahid ban kar aasmanon mein
liya jata hai nam us ka muqaddas dastanon mein

haqiqat apni manwai haqiqat-ashna ho kar
jo uttha ibtida ho kar to baitha intiha ho kar

sabaq insaniyat ka dene aaya ibn-e-adam ko
taraqqi ki taraf le jaane wala ahl-e-alam ko

zamin bhi us ka loha man kar sona ugalti thi
ki jis ke dabdabe se charkh ki chhati dahalti thi

wo aaya tha mitane ke liye tafriq mazhab ki
dam-e-akhir bhi ki jis ne itaat ek hi rab ki

wo insan jis ke qadmon par zamana sar jhukana tha
tariq-e-guftugu se ghair ko apna banata tha

wo rahbar jis ne gumrahon ki aksar peshwai ki
bhalai ki hamesha jis ne bhi us se burai ki

granthi rag sun kar aadmi bedar hota hai
zamane ki nazar mein sahab-e-kirdar hota hai

falak bhi tal-bandi ki zamin par naz karta hai
ki us ka tair-e-dil arsh par parwaz karta hai

guru-nanak ki kam se kam itaat hai kiye hote
asar ke motiyon se daman-e-dil bhar liye hote
