bas ek rasta hai ek aawaz aur ek saya hai
bas ik rasta hai ik āvāz aur ek saayā hai
ye kis ne aa ke gahrī niiñd se mujh ko jagāyā hai
bichhaḌtī aur miltī sā.atoñ ke darmiyān ik pal
yahī ik pal bachāne ke liye sab kuchh gañvāyā hai
idhar ye dil abhī tak hai asīr-e-vahshat-e-sahrā
udhar us aañkh ne chāroñ taraf pahra biThāyā hai
tumheñ kaise batā.eñ jhuuT kyā hai aur sach kyā hai
na tum ne aa.ina dekhā na ā.īna dikhāyā hai
hameñ ik ism-e-āzam yaad hai vo saath hai, ham ne
ka.ī baar āsmāñ ko in zamīnoñ par bulāyā hai
kahāñ tak rokte āñkhoñ meñ abr-o-bād-e-hijrāñ ko
ab aa.e ho ki jab ye shahr zer-e-āb aayā hai
'salīm' ab tak kisī ko bad-du'ā dī to nahīñ lekin
hamesha ḳhush rahe jis ne hamārā dil dukhāyā hai
bas ek rasta hai ek aawaz aur ek saya hai
ye kis ne aa ke gahri nind se mujh ko jagaya hai
bichhaDti aur milti saaton ke darmiyan ek pal
yahi ek pal bachane ke liye sab kuchh ganwaya hai
idhar ye dil abhi tak hai asir-e-wahshat-e-sahra
udhar us aankh ne chaaron taraf pahra biThaya hai
tumhein kaise bataen jhuT kya hai aur sach kya hai
na tum ne aaina dekha na aaina dikhaya hai
hamein ek ism-e-azam yaad hai wo sath hai, hum ne
kai bar aasman ko in zaminon par bulaya hai
kahan tak rokte aankhon mein abr-o-baad-e-hijran ko
ab aae ho ki jab ye shahr zer-e-ab aaya hai
'salim' ab tak kisi ko bad-du'a di to nahin lekin
hamesha KHush rahe jis ne hamara dil dukhaya hai
