jo guzar dushman hai us ka rahguzar rakkha hai nam
jo guzar dushman hai us kā rahguzar rakkhā hai naam
zaat se apnī na hilne kā safar rakkhā hai naam
paḌ gayā hai ik bhañvar us ko samajh baiThe haiñ ghar
lahr uThī hai lahr kā dīvār-o-dar rakkhā hai naam
naam jis kā bhī nikal jaa.e usī par hai madār
us kā honā yā na honā kyaa, magar rakkhā hai naam
ham yahāñ ḳhud aa.e haiñ laayā nahīñ koī hameñ
aur ḳhudā kā ham ne apne naam par rakkhā hai naam
chāk-e-chākī dekh kar pairāhan-e-pahnā.ī kī
maiñ ne apne har nafs kā baḳhiya-gar rakkhā hai naam
merā siina koī chhalnī bhī agar kar de to kyā
maiñ ne to ab apne siine kā sipar rakkhā hai naam
din hue par tū kahīñ honā kisī bhī shakl meñ
jaag kar ḳhvāboñ ne terā raat bhar rakkhā hai naam
jo guzar dushman hai us ka rahguzar rakkha hai nam
zat se apni na hilne ka safar rakkha hai nam
paD gaya hai ek bhanwar us ko samajh baiThe hain ghar
lahr uThi hai lahr ka diwar-o-dar rakkha hai nam
nam jis ka bhi nikal jae usi par hai madar
us ka hona ya na hona kya, magar rakkha hai nam
hum yahan KHud aae hain laya nahin koi hamein
aur KHuda ka hum ne apne nam par rakkha hai nam
chaak-e-chaaki dekh kar pairahan-e-pahnai ki
main ne apne har nafs ka baKHiya-gar rakkha hai nam
mera sina koi chhalni bhi agar kar de to kya
main ne to ab apne sine ka sipar rakkha hai nam
din hue par tu kahin hona kisi bhi shakl mein
jag kar KHwabon ne tera raat bhar rakkha hai nam
