sajde mein rahe kyun koi banda mere aage

sajde meñ rahe kyuuñ koī banda mire aage

jo hai mire pīchhe vahī hotā mire aage

lagtā hai ki chhoḌ aayā huuñ manzil kahīñ pīchhe

chaltā hai musalsal yūñhī rasta mire aage

ham do hī musāfir haiñ ḳhizāoñ ke havā meñ

ik maiñ huuñ aur ik zard vo pattā mire aage

sajde kā maiñ pāband huā huuñ yahāñ aa kar

jhuktā thā vahāñ par to farishta mire aage

maiñ zeb rahā huuñ kabhī yūsuf ke badan par

kyā chiiz bhalā dast-e-zuleḳhā mire aage

ik haath meñ kashkol hai duuje meñ tarāzū

aise meñ bhalā kaun Thahartā mire aage

jiine ko to kuchh aur bhī jī leñ yahāñ lekin

honā hai yahī khel tamāsha mire aage

kuchh aise bhī sajdoñ kā sharaf hai mujhe hāsil

ka.aba jo thā pīchhe vahī ka.aba mire aage

ik ḳhauf thā 'ruḳhsār' ki ġhālib kī zamīñ hai

tham tham ke har ik sher yuuñ utrā mire aage

sajde mein rahe kyun koi banda mere aage

jo hai mere pichhe wahi hota mere aage

lagta hai ki chhoD aaya hun manzil kahin pichhe

chalta hai musalsal yunhi rasta mere aage

hum do hi musafir hain KHizaon ke hawa mein

ek main hun aur ek zard wo patta mere aage

sajde ka main paband hua hun yahan aa kar

jhukta tha wahan par to farishta mere aage

main zeb raha hun kabhi yusuf ke badan par

kya chiz bhala dast-e-zuleKHa mere aage

ek hath mein kashkol hai duje mein taraazu

aise mein bhala kaun Thaharta mere aage

jine ko to kuchh aur bhi ji len yahan lekin

hona hai yahi khel tamasha mere aage

kuchh aise bhi sajdon ka sharaf hai mujhe hasil

kaba jo tha pichhe wahi kaba mere aage

ek KHauf tha 'ruKHsar' ki ghaalib ki zamin hai

tham tham ke har ek sher yun utra mere aage
