yun tere mast sar-e-rah chala karte hain

yuuñ tire mast sar-e-rāh chalā karte haiñ

jaise shāhān-e-falak-e-jāh chalā karte haiñ

ġham-e-duniyā ġham-e-jānāñ ġham-e-manzil ġham-e-rāh

kitne ġham ziist ke hamrāh chalā karte haiñ

dil bhī kyā rāhguzar hai ki hamesha jis meñ

zohra-o-mustarī-o-māh chalā karte haiñ

ye to rindoñ kī galī hai idhar ai shaiḳh kahāñ

aisī rāhoñ meñ to gumrāh chalā karte haiñ

ġham-e-daurāñ kī kaḌī dhuup meñ chalne vaale

ba-tamannā-e-shab-e-māh chalā karte haiñ

ham ko chalnā hai jo gulshan meñ to is tarah chaleñ

jaise gulshan ke havā-ḳhvāh chalā karte haiñ

yād-e-māzī ġham-e-imroz umīd-e-fardā

kitne saa.e mire hamrāh chalā karte haiñ

vādī-e-dil hai qadam soch ke rakhnā ki 'shamīm'

tez is raah meñ nāgāh chalā karte haiñ

yun tere mast sar-e-rah chala karte hain

jaise shahan-e-falak-e-jah chala karte hain

gham-e-duniya gham-e-jaanan gham-e-manzil gham-e-rah

kitne gham zist ke hamrah chala karte hain

dil bhi kya rahguzar hai ki hamesha jis mein

zohra-o-mustari-o-mah chala karte hain

ye to rindon ki gali hai idhar ai shaiKH kahan

aisi rahon mein to gumrah chala karte hain

gham-e-dauran ki kaDi dhup mein chalne wale

ba-tamanna-e-shab-e-mah chala karte hain

hum ko chalna hai jo gulshan mein to is tarah chalen

jaise gulshan ke hawa-KHwah chala karte hain

yaad-e-mazi gham-e-imroz umid-e-farda

kitne sae mere hamrah chala karte hain

wadi-e-dil hai qadam soch ke rakhna ki 'shamim'

tez is rah mein nagah chala karte hain
