wo ja chuka hai to kyun be-qarar itne ho
vo jā chukā hai to kyuuñ be-qarār itne ho
mohabbat us se karo jis ko bhuul sakte ho
nishān-e-manzil-e-jāñ gar nahīñ milā na sahī
chalo safar to kiyā hai kahīñ to pahuñche ho
tamām umr na milne kā hausla hī sahī
tum apne dil meñ koī aarzū to rakhte ho
safar bhī tum ne kiyā āftāb kī sūrat
abhī tak apne hī naqsh-e-qadam pe chalte ho
jo raushnī hai diloñ meñ atā tumhārī hai
charāg tum sā nahīñ tum charāg jaise ho
diloñ ke so.e hue ġham abhī to jaage haiñ
zarā sī der to baiTho abhī to aa.e ho
tumhāre lahje kā ye zer-o-bam qayāmat hai
kabhī rafīq kabhī nā-shanās lagte ho
ḳhudā sunā hai rag-e-jāñ ke paas rahtā hai
magar tum aur bhī nazdīk aate jaate ho
tamām din rahī saa.e kī justujū 'shahzād'
huī hai raat to āñkheñ talāsh karte ho
wo ja chuka hai to kyun be-qarar itne ho
mohabbat us se karo jis ko bhul sakte ho
nishan-e-manzil-e-jaan gar nahin mila na sahi
chalo safar to kiya hai kahin to pahunche ho
tamam umr na milne ka hausla hi sahi
tum apne dil mein koi aarzu to rakhte ho
safar bhi tum ne kiya aaftab ki surat
abhi tak apne hi naqsh-e-qadam pe chalte ho
jo raushni hai dilon mein ata tumhaari hai
charag tum sa nahin tum charag jaise ho
dilon ke soe hue gham abhi to jage hain
zara si der to baiTho abhi to aae ho
tumhaare lahje ka ye zer-o-bam qayamat hai
kabhi rafiq kabhi na-shanas lagte ho
KHuda suna hai rag-e-jaan ke pas rahta hai
magar tum aur bhi nazdik aate jate ho
tamam din rahi sae ki justuju 'shahzad'
hui hai raat to aankhen talash karte ho
