Ye chirag benazar hai ye sitara bezuban hai
Abhi tujhase milta julata koi dusara kahan hai
Unhin raston ne jin par kabhi tum the sath mere
Mujhe rok rok pucha tera hamasafar kahan hai
Har mod nyi eak uljhan hai
Kadmo ko sambhalna muskil hai
Tu saath nahi to dhoop to kya
Saaye me bhi chalna muskil hai
Yaarane safar hai tez kadam
Ay kashmakshe sil kya hoga
Rukta hu to bichada jata hu
Chalta hu to chalna muskil hai
Ab humpe khula ye raj-e-chaman
Uljha kre baharo me daman
Kaanto se nikalna aasan tha
Phoolon se nikalna muskil hai
Ye mera mazake kis ne abhi
Le aaya kis manzil par
Bahku to hasega maikhana
Sambh to sambhalna muskil hai
Naakam ye kismat kaisa hai
Kya chiz shikasta paayi hai
Do gam pe manzil hai lekin
Do gam bhi chakna muskil hai
Likhte rahe khune dil se jise
Taaide nigaher dost me hum
Iqbaal ab is afsane ka
Unwaan badalna muskil hai
