chalte chalte chale aae hain pareshani mein
chalte chalte chale aa.e haiñ pareshānī meñ
ḳhvāb to dab chuke is kūche kī vīrānī meñ
toḌ kar paañv paḌe haiñ ki vo himmat na rahī
uḌte bādal the kabhī chāk-girebānī meñ
hijr kī raah meñ chalte rahe girte-paḌte
saath kuchh bhī na liyā be-sar-o-sāmānī meñ
us shahanshāh ko maiñ kaise shahanshāh kahūñ
sarhadeñ TūTtī hoñ jis kī jahāñbānī meñ
pahuñche manzil pe to hāsil thā faqat yās-o-hirās
umr ik biit ga.ī silsila jumbanī meñ
us ke jaane pe ye ehsās huā hai 'shāhid'
vo jazīra thā mirā dukh se bhare paanī meñ
chalte chalte chale aae hain pareshani mein
KHwab to dab chuke is kuche ki virani mein
toD kar panw paDe hain ki wo himmat na rahi
uDte baadal the kabhi chaak-girebani mein
hijr ki rah mein chalte rahe girte-paDte
sath kuchh bhi na liya be-sar-o-samani mein
us shahanshah ko main kaise shahanshah kahun
sarhaden TuTti hon jis ki jahanbani mein
pahunche manzil pe to hasil tha faqat yas-o-hiras
umr ek bit gai silsila jumbani mein
us ke jaane pe ye ehsas hua hai 'shahid'
wo jazira tha mera dukh se bhare pani mein
