jazb-e-yaqin ki mail-e-wahm-o-guman hai aaj

jazb-e-yaqīñ ki mā.il-e-vahm-o-gumāñ hai aaj

phir rahzanoñ kī zad meñ rah-e-kārvāñ hai aaj

phir hai numā.ish-e-qad-o-gesū kā ehtimām

shāyad junūn-o-shauq kā phir imtihāñ hai aaj

phir hai junūñ-navāz kisī kī nigāh-e-nāz

phir jumbish-e-nazar meñ koī dāstāñ hai aaj

ab ehtiyāj-e-rahbar-e-manzil nahīñ mujhe

ab jo qadam bhī uTh gayā manzil-nishāñ hai aaj

qaa.em ba-yak taġhayyur-e-paiham hai zindagī

vo kal nahīñ rahegā jo rang-e-jahāñ hai aaj

manzil-nasīb ho hī gayā kārvān-e-shauq

jo pesh-o-pas meñ gum thā vo rahbar kahāñ hai aaj

jazb-e-yaqin ki mail-e-wahm-o-guman hai aaj

phir rahzanon ki zad mein rah-e-karwan hai aaj

phir hai numaish-e-qad-o-gesu ka ehtimam

shayad junun-o-shauq ka phir imtihan hai aaj

phir hai junun-nawaz kisi ki nigah-e-naz

phir jumbish-e-nazar mein koi dastan hai aaj

ab ehtiyaj-e-rahbar-e-manzil nahin mujhe

ab jo qadam bhi uTh gaya manzil-nishan hai aaj

qaem ba-yak taghayyur-e-paiham hai zindagi

wo kal nahin rahega jo rang-e-jahan hai aaj

manzil-nasib ho hi gaya karwan-e-shauq

jo pesh-o-pas mein gum tha wo rahbar kahan hai aaj
