bar-e-hasti se pareshan nazar aata hai
rang-e-duniya pe wo hairan nazar aata hai

bazm-e-danish mein pasheman nazar aata hai
yurish-e-gham se wo halkan nazar aata hai

shiddat-e-karb se be-jaan nazar aata hai
paikar-e-dard wo insan nazar aata hai

subh-dam khet mein khaliyan mein kohsaron mein
sham tak ret ke uthte hue tufanon mein

shah-rahon mein kabhi shahr ke aiwanon mein
tang galiyon mein kabhi ganw ke maidanon mein

shiddat-e-karb se be-jaan nazar aata hai
paikar-e-dard wo insan nazar aata hai

pa-ba-zanjir wo jakda hua khar-karon mein
koh-o-sahra mein kabhi dasht mein viranon mein

mele thele mein kabhi aam guzargahon mein
sabza-zaron mein kabhi ujde gulistanon mein

shiddat-e-karb se be-jaan nazar aata hai
paikar-e-dard wo insan nazar aata hai

reg-zaron mein surangon mein nihan-khanon mein
kisht-e-viran mein kabhi ganw ke khaliyanon mein

rizq ki khoj mein jangal mein bayabanon mein
subh ta-sham magan nit-nae armanon mein

shiddat-e-karb se be-jaan nazar aata hai
paikar-e-dard wo insan nazar aata hai

shorish-e-dard se din-raat sisakta mazdur
justuju-e-rah-e-manzil mein bhatakta mazdur

zeb-o-zinat ki mahafil se jhijhakta mazdur
apni mehnat ke pasine mein mahakta mazdur

shiddat-e-karb se be-jaan nazar aata hai
paikar-e-dard wo insan nazar aata hai
