go kaThin hai tai karnā umr kā safar tanhā
lauT kar na dekhūñgā chal paḌā agar tanhā
sach hai umr bhar kis kā kaun saath detā hai
ġham bhī ho gayā ruḳhsat dil ko chhoḌ kar tanhā
aadmī ko gumrāhī le ga.ī sitāroñ tak
rah ga.e bayābāñ meñ hazrat-e-ḳhizar tanhā
hai to vaj.h-e-rusvā.ī merī hamrahī lekin
rāstoñ meñ ḳhatra hai jāoge kidhar tanhā
ai 'shu.ūr' is ghar meñ is bhare-pure ghar meñ
tujh sā zinda-dil tanhā aur is qadar tanhā
