haadase kyaa kyaa tumhaarii beruKhii se ho gaye
saarii duniyaa ke liye ham ajanabii se ho gaye

kitane dushman ek rasm-e-dostii se ho gaye

kuchh tumhaarii gesuuo.n kii barahamii ne kar diyaa
kuchh a.Ndhere mere ghar me.n raushanii se ho gaye

yuu.N to ham aagaah the saiyaad kii tadbiir se
ham asiir-e-daam-e-gul apanii Khudii se ho gaye

[aagaah = alert; saiyaad = hunter; tadbiir = plans]

har qadam "Sagar" nazar aane lagii hai.n ma.nzile.n
marhale tay merii kuchh aavaaragii se ho gaye
