sab charaghon ki hidayat ka matlab samjhe

sab charāġhoñ kī hidāyāt kā matlab samjhe

chāñd rūThā to siyah raat kā matlab samjhe

us pe utre the mohabbat ke sahīfe lekin

ek kāfir kahāñ taurāt kā matlab samjhe

kaun rah rah ke vafāoñ ko nibhānā sīkhe

kaun farsūda rivāyāt kā matlab samjhe

is se pahle to du'āoñ pe yaqīñ thā kam-kam

tū ne chhoḌā to munājāt kā matlab samjhe

jab vo bhar bhar ke luTātā rahā auroñ pe ḳhulūs

ham tahī-dast 'ināyāt kā matlab samjhe

ab kisī aur taraf baat ghumāne vaale

maiñ samajhtī huuñ tirī baat kā matlab samjhe

tujh ko bhī chhoḌ ke jaa.e tirā apnā koī

tū bhī ik roz mukāfāt kā matlab samjhe

sab charaghon ki hidayat ka matlab samjhe

chand ruTha to siyah raat ka matlab samjhe

us pe utre the mohabbat ke sahife lekin

ek kafir kahan tauraat ka matlab samjhe

kaun rah rah ke wafaon ko nibhana sikhe

kaun farsuda riwayat ka matlab samjhe

is se pahle to du'aon pe yaqin tha kam-kam

tu ne chhoDa to munajat ka matlab samjhe

jab wo bhar bhar ke luTata raha auron pe KHulus

hum tahi-dast 'inayat ka matlab samjhe

ab kisi aur taraf baat ghumane wale

main samajhti hun teri baat ka matlab samjhe

tujh ko bhi chhoD ke jae tera apna koi

tu bhi ek roz mukafat ka matlab samjhe
