ye qadam qadam kashakash dil-e-be-qarar kya hai

ye qadam qadam kashākash dil-e-be-qarār kyā hai

jo yaqīñ na ho 'amal par to nashāt-e-kār kyā hai

ba-ḳhudā nasīm-e-gulshan tirī vahshatoñ ke sadqe

ye mizāj-e-nāma-bar hai to mizāj-e-yār kyā hai

vo karam na ho sitam ho koī baat kam se kam ho

ye adā-e-be-niyāzī mire ġham-gusār kyā hai

ye ham ahl-e-ġham kī manzil hai dabe qadam guzar jā

ki ajal yahāñ ke fitnoñ meñ tirā shumār kyā hai

abhī aa ke naġhma-e-dil kī bahār dekh jaao

maiñ navā-e-ḳhud-shikan huuñ mirā e'tibār kyā hai

ye qadam qadam kashakash dil-e-be-qarar kya hai

jo yaqin na ho 'amal par to nashat-e-kar kya hai

ba-KHuda nasim-e-gulshan teri wahshaton ke sadqe

ye mizaj-e-nama-bar hai to mizaj-e-yar kya hai

wo karam na ho sitam ho koi baat kam se kam ho

ye ada-e-be-niyazi mere gham-gusar kya hai

ye hum ahl-e-gham ki manzil hai dabe qadam guzar ja

ki ajal yahan ke fitnon mein tera shumar kya hai

abhi aa ke naghma-e-dil ki bahaar dekh jao

main nawa-e-KHud-shikan hun mera e'tibar kya hai
