sahar ko hasb-e-zarurat wo raat kahte hain

sahar ko hasb-e-zarūrat vo raat kahte haiñ

siyāne log haiñ matlab kī baat kahte haiñ

bhale hī laakh havāloñ ke saath kahte haiñ

magar vo sirf kitāboñ kī baat kahte haiñ

chalo chalo na chalo ḳhud-ba-ḳhud hai kaT jaatā

'ajab safar hai ye jis ko hayāt kahte haiñ

miTā vajūd hī apnā to kyā kareñge ise

jise ye ahl-e-tasavvuf najāt kahte haiñ

ye be-ruḳhī se to terī hazār behtar haiñ

tirī jafāoñ ko ham iltifāt kahte haiñ

tū dekh dekh na dekh ai 'sadā' dikhegā zarūr

vo rāsta jise rāh-e-sirāt kahte haiñ

sahar ko hasb-e-zarurat wo raat kahte hain

siyane log hain matlab ki baat kahte hain

bhale hi lakh hawalon ke sath kahte hain

magar wo sirf kitabon ki baat kahte hain

chalo chalo na chalo KHud-ba-KHud hai kaT jata

'ajab safar hai ye jis ko hayat kahte hain

miTa wajud hi apna to kya karenge ise

jise ye ahl-e-tasawwuf najat kahte hain

ye be-ruKHi se to teri hazar behtar hain

teri jafaon ko hum iltifat kahte hain

tu dekh dekh na dekh ai 'sada' dikhega zarur

wo rasta jise rah-e-siraat kahte hain
