main sochta hun kahin tu KHafa na ho jae
maiñ sochtā huuñ kahīñ tū ḳhafā na ho jaa.e
tirī anā mirī zanjīr-e-pā na ho jaa.e
ye jītī-jāgtī āñkheñ ye ḳhvāb sī duniyā
vufūr-e-shauq ḳhud apnī jazā na ho jaa.e
qadam qadam pe bapā jashn-e-imtihān-e-vafā
tirī tarah koī dard-āshnā na ho jaa.e
na dekh mujh ko mohabbat kī aañkh se ai dost
mirā vajūd mirā mudda.ā na ho jaa.e
maiñ jis ko DhūñD rahā huuñ nashāt-e-qurbat meñ
mire ḳhayāl se bhī māvarā na ho jaa.e
zamīñ kī god se sūraj nikālne vaalo
sitāra-e-saharī rahnumā na ho jaa.e
harīm-e-jāñ meñ hai arzāñ ḳhumār-e-tīra-shabī
ye is dayār kī āb-o-havā na ho jaa.e
ġham-e-firāq meñ lazzat sahī magar 'aslam'
mirī hayāt mirā ḳhūñ-bahā na ho jaa.e
main sochta hun kahin tu KHafa na ho jae
teri ana meri zanjir-e-pa na ho jae
ye jiti-jagti aankhen ye KHwab si duniya
wufur-e-shauq KHud apni jaza na ho jae
qadam qadam pe bapa jashn-e-imtihan-e-wafa
teri tarah koi dard-ashna na ho jae
na dekh mujh ko mohabbat ki aankh se ai dost
mera wajud mera muddaa na ho jae
main jis ko DhunD raha hun nashat-e-qurbat mein
mere KHayal se bhi mawara na ho jae
zamin ki god se suraj nikalne walo
sitara-e-sahari rahnuma na ho jae
harim-e-jaan mein hai arzan KHumar-e-tira-shabi
ye is dayar ki aab-o-hawa na ho jae
gham-e-firaq mein lazzat sahi magar 'aslam'
meri hayat mera KHun-baha na ho jae
