kyuuñ chalte chalte ruk ga.e vīrān rāsto
tanhā huuñ aaj maiñ zarā ghar tak to saath do
kyun chalte chalte ruk gae viran rasto
tanha hun aaj main zara ghar tak to sath do
yahāñ kisī ko koī rāsta nahīñ detā
mujhe girā ke agar tum sambhal sako to chalo
yahan kisi ko koi rasta nahin deta
mujhe gira ke agar tum sambhal sako to chalo

'faiz' thi rah sar-ba-sar manzil
hum jahan pahunche kaamyab aae
