kaun deta raha sahra mein sada meri tarah

kaun detā rahā sahrā meñ sadā merī tarah

aaj tanhā huuñ magar koī to thā merī tarah

maiñ tirī raah meñ pāmāl huā jaatā huuñ

miT na jaa.e tirā naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā merī tarah

maiñ hī tanhā huuñ faqat terī bharī duniyā meñ

aur bhī log haiñ kyā mere ḳhudā merī tarah

rañg-e-arbāb-e-razā-e-pesha mubārak ho tujhe

koī hotā hī nahīñ tujh se ḳhafā merī tarah

kis ko hāsil ho tirī chashm-e-siyah ke aage

mansab-e-silsila-e-jurm-o-ḳhatā merī tarah

āshnā kaun hai naqsh-e-qadam-e-nik.hat kā

yaad kis ko hai tire ghar kā patā merī tarah

'shāz' taarā nahīñ TuuTā koī dil TuuTā hai

raah taktā thā shab-e-ġham koī kyā merī tarah

kaun deta raha sahra mein sada meri tarah

aaj tanha hun magar koi to tha meri tarah

main teri rah mein pamal hua jata hun

miT na jae tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa meri tarah

main hi tanha hun faqat teri bhari duniya mein

aur bhi log hain kya mere KHuda meri tarah

rang-e-arbab-e-raza-e-pesha mubarak ho tujhe

koi hota hi nahin tujh se KHafa meri tarah

kis ko hasil ho teri chashm-e-siyah ke aage

mansab-e-silsila-e-jurm-o-KHata meri tarah

aashna kaun hai naqsh-e-qadam-e-nikhat ka

yaad kis ko hai tere ghar ka pata meri tarah

'shaz' tara nahin TuTa koi dil TuTa hai

rah takta tha shab-e-gham koi kya meri tarah
