safar mera muqaddar tha safar mera muqaddar hai
andheron ki jabin par main ne chhode naqsh-e-pa apne

main dariya hun
janam mujh ko diya hai barf-poshi sard raaton ne

likha hai mere safhon par
ki jab main qatra qatra jod kar mauj-e-yaqin ka pairahan pahnun

to sab anjaan samten meri mutthi mein simat aaen
jo parbat bap hai mera

taras jae mujhe bahon mein bharne ko
ye uncha aasman jhuk kar kabhi mere qadam chume

safar mera muqaddar hai
safar mera azal mera abad mera yaqin bhi hai

mere qadmon ka gham karb-e-zamin bhi hai
samundar rasta mera

musalsal mujh ko chalna hai
musalsal barf ki surat pighalna hai

agar main baith jaun rah mein thak kar
to ye pyase ujale mujh ko pi jaen

agar main dasht ban jata
agar sahra ki banhon mein bikhar jata

samundar kaise kahlata
hawaen sochtin mujh ko

agar shoale hararat mujh mein bhar dete
main dariya hun safar mera muqaddar hai

mujhe rukna nahin hai sirf chalna hai
chalo achchha hua tum ne mujhe aansu bana dala

ki main ne aaj khud ko ek aansu ki tarah bahte
tumhaari dubti aankhon mein dekha hai

main dariya hun
yahi aansu wirasat mein mila mujh ko

mujhe lagta hai kuchh aisa
main parbat se nahin shayad samundar se hi nikla hun
