baba guru-nanak dev

ek jism-e-nā-tavāñ itnī dabāoñ kā hujūm

ik charāġh-e-sub.h aur itnī havāoñ kā hujūm

manzileñ gum aur itne rahnumāoñ kā hujūm

e'tiqād-e-ḳhām aur itne ḳhudāoñ kā hujūm

kashmakash meñ apne hī ma.abad se katrātā huā

aadmī phirtā thā dar dar Thokareñ khātā huā

haq ko hotī thī har ik maidāñ meñ bātil se shikast

sar-nigūñ sar-dar-garebāñ sar-basar the zerdast

fan thā ik matlab-barārī log the matlab-parast

is-qadar bigḌā huā thā zindagī kā bandobast

hāmī-e-jaur-o-sitam har tarah mālā-māl thā

jis kī lāThī thī usī kī bhaiñs thī ye haal thā

kyā ḳhudā kā ḳhauf kaisā jazba-e-hubb-e-vatan

barsar-e-paikār the aapas meñ shaiḳh-o-barahman

bāġhbāñ jo the vo ḳhud the mahv-e-taḳhrīb-e-chaman

al-ġharaz bigḌī huī thī anjuman kī anjuman

maz.hab-e-insāniyat kā pāsbāñ koī na thā

kārvāñ lākhoñ the mīr-e-kārvāñ koī na thā

rūh-e-insāñ ne ḳhudā ke sāmne fariyād kī

jo zamīñ par ho rahā thā sab bayāñ rūdād kī

aur kahā had ho chukī hai kufr kī ilhād kī

ek duniyā muntazir hai aap ke irshād kī

tab ye farmāyā ḳhudā ne sab ko samjhā.ūñgā maiñ

aadmī kā ruup dhāran kar ke ḳhud ā.ūñgā maiñ

is tarah āḳhir huā duniyā meñ nānak kā zuhūr

farsh-e-tilwanDī pe utrā arsh se rabb-e-ġhafūr

uTh gayā zulmāt kā Derā baḌhā har samt nuur

mamba.a-e-anvār se phailīñ shuā.eñ duur duur

mehr-e-tābāñ ne do-ālam meñ ujālā kar diyā

aadmī ne aadmī kā bol-bālā kar diyā

ek jism-e-na-tawan itni dabaon ka hujum

ek charagh-e-subh aur itni hawaon ka hujum

manzilen gum aur itne rahnumaon ka hujum

e'tiqad-e-KHam aur itne KHudaon ka hujum

kashmakash mein apne hi mabad se katraata hua

aadmi phirta tha dar dar Thokaren khata hua

haq ko hoti thi har ek maidan mein baatil se shikast

sar-nigun sar-dar-gareban sar-basar the zerdast

fan tha ek matlab-barari log the matlab-parast

is-qadar bigDa hua tha zindagi ka bandobast

hami-e-jaur-o-sitam har tarah mala-mal tha

jis ki laThi thi usi ki bhains thi ye haal tha

kya KHuda ka KHauf kaisa jazba-e-hubb-e-watan

barsar-e-paikar the aapas mein shaiKH-o-barahman

baghban jo the wo KHud the mahw-e-taKHrib-e-chaman

al-gharaz bigDi hui thi anjuman ki anjuman

mazhab-e-insaniyat ka pasban koi na tha

karwan lakhon the mir-e-karwan koi na tha

ruh-e-insan ne KHuda ke samne fariyaad ki

jo zamin par ho raha tha sab bayan rudad ki

aur kaha had ho chuki hai kufr ki ilhad ki

ek duniya muntazir hai aap ke irshad ki

tab ye farmaya KHuda ne sab ko samjhaunga main

aadmi ka rup dhaaran kar ke KHud aaunga main

is tarah aaKHir hua duniya mein nanak ka zuhur

farsh-e-tilwanDi pe utra arsh se rabb-e-ghafur

uTh gaya zulmat ka Dera baDha har samt nur

mamba-e-anwar se phailin shuaen dur dur

mehr-e-taban ne do-alam mein ujala kar diya

aadmi ne aadmi ka bol-baala kar diya
