achanak rah mein chalte hue patthar nikal aae

achānak raah meñ chalte hue patthar nikal aa.e

ḳhayāl-o-ḳhvāb kī duniyā se ham bāhar nikal aa.e

musībat meñ raheñ ham sābir-o-shākir to mumkin hai

ḳhudā ke hukm se sūrat koī behtar nikal aa.e

pas-e-parda bahut se log aise haiñ zamāne meñ

agar chhū deñ vo miTTī ko to phir gauhar nikal aa.e

bahut muhtāt rahne kī zarūrat hai yahāñ 'dānish'

na jaane kab kahāñ kis moḌ par ḳhanjar nikal aa.e

achanak rah mein chalte hue patthar nikal aae

KHayal-o-KHwab ki duniya se hum bahar nikal aae

musibat mein rahen hum sabir-o-shakir to mumkin hai

KHuda ke hukm se surat koi behtar nikal aae

pas-e-parda bahut se log aise hain zamane mein

agar chhu den wo miTTi ko to phir gauhar nikal aae

bahut muhtat rahne ki zarurat hai yahan 'danish'

na jaane kab kahan kis moD par KHanjar nikal aae
