Dhundhla jaayein jo manzileinIk pal ko tu nazar jhukaJhuk jaaye sar jahan wahiMilta hai rab ka raastaTeri kismat tu badal deRakh himmat bus chal deTere saathi mere kadmon ke hain nishaan[Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda] (4)
Khud pe daal tu nazarHaalaton se haar karKahan chala reHaath ki lakeer koModhta marodtaHai hausla reToh khud tere khwabon ke rang meinTu apne jahan ko bhi rang deKe chalta hoon mein tere sang meinHo shaam bhi toh kyaJab hoga andheraTab paayega dar meraUss dar pe phir hogi teri subah[Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda] (4)
Mitt jaate hain sabke nishaanBas ek woh mitt ta nahin hai hayeMaan le jo har mushkil ko marzi meri hayeHo humsafar na tera jab kahiSaya mera rahega tab wahiTujhse kabhi na ik pal bhi mein judaa[Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda] (4)
