dar-o-diwar pe ek saya paDa hai dekho

dar-o-dīvār pe ik saaya paḌā hai dekho

mere raste meñ koī jaise khaḌā hai dekho

zarra-e-ḳhāk ko sar par liye phirtī hai havā

aur patthar ki zamīñ meñ hī gaḌā hai dekho

is qadar bhiiḌ hai raste meñ ki chalnā hai muhāl

aur bādal ki abhī sar pe khaḌā hai dekho

apnī hī zaat ke saa.e meñ chhupā baiThā huuñ

ki mirā saaya bhī to mujh se baḌā hai dekho

mauj-e-dariyā ko samundar se mafar mushkil hai

lauT bhī aao ki ye rasta kaḌā hai dekho

koī to aa.e mujhe aa ke bachā.e is se

merī dahlīz pe ik shaḳhs khaḌā hai dekho

sar pe tūfān bhī hai sāmne girdāb bhī hai

merī himmat ki vahī kachchā ghaḌā hai dekho

sar kaTā kar bhī khaḌā huuñ sar-e-maidāñ aḳhtar

is tarah jañg yahāñ kaun laḌā hai dekho

dar-o-diwar pe ek saya paDa hai dekho

mere raste mein koi jaise khaDa hai dekho

zarra-e-KHak ko sar par liye phirti hai hawa

aur patthar ki zamin mein hi gaDa hai dekho

is qadar bhiD hai raste mein ki chalna hai muhaal

aur baadal ki abhi sar pe khaDa hai dekho

apni hi zat ke sae mein chhupa baiTha hun

ki mera saya bhi to mujh se baDa hai dekho

mauj-e-dariya ko samundar se mafar mushkil hai

lauT bhi aao ki ye rasta kaDa hai dekho

koi to aae mujhe aa ke bachae is se

meri dahliz pe ek shaKHs khaDa hai dekho

sar pe tufan bhi hai samne girdab bhi hai

meri himmat ki wahi kachcha ghaDa hai dekho

sar kaTa kar bhi khaDa hun sar-e-maidan aKHtar

is tarah jang yahan kaun laDa hai dekho
