dam-ba-dam uThtī haiñ kis yaad kī lahreñ dil meñ

dard rah rah ke ye karvaT sī badaltā kyā hai

dam-ba-dam uThti hain kis yaad ki lahren dil mein

dard rah rah ke ye karwaT si badalta kya hai

kyā ho gayā gulshan ko sākit hai fazā kaisī

sab shāḳh o shajar chup haiñ hiltā nahīñ pattā bhī

kya ho gaya gulshan ko sakit hai faza kaisi

sab shaKH o shajar chup hain hilta nahin patta bhi

motī mūñge kañkar patthar bache na koī bhaa.ī

samay kī chakkī sab ko piise kyā parbat kyā raa.ī

moti munge kankar patthar bache na koi bhai

samay ki chakki sab ko pise kya parbat kya rai

diyā bujhā phir jal jaa.e aur rut bhī palTā khaa.e

phir jo haath se jaa.e samay vo kabhī na lauT ke aa.e

diya bujha phir jal jae aur rut bhi palTa khae

phir jo hath se jae samay wo kabhi na lauT ke aae

samay ke saare khel haiñ pyāre kah ga.e jagat 'kabīr'

aap hañsā.e aap rulā.e aap bañdhā.e dhiir

samay ke sare khel hain pyare kah gae jagat 'kabir'

aap hansae aap rulae aap bandhae dhir

kaise kaise viir sūrmā jag meñ jin kā maan

jag se jiite samay se haare samay baḌā balvān

kaise kaise wir surma jag mein jin ka man

jag se jite samay se haare samay baDa balwan

samay kī rachnā samay kā pher aur samay ke sab bahrūp

kyā añdhiyāre kyā ujiyāle kyā chhāñv kyā dhuup

samay ki rachna samay ka pher aur samay ke sab bahrup

kya andhiyare kya ujiyale kya chhanw kya dhup
