ghaiz ka suraj tha sar par sach ko sach kahta to kaun

ġhaiz kā sūraj thā sar par sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

raas aatā kis ko mahshar sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

sab ne paḌh rakkhā thā sach kī jiit hotī hai magar

thā bharosa kis ko sach par sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

maan rakhtā kaun vish kā kaun apnātā salīb

koī iisā thā na shañkar sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

thā kisī kā bhī na maqsad sach ko jhuTlānā magar

muñh meñ rakh kar luqma-e-tar sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

aadmī to ḳhair se bastī meñ milte hī na the

devtā the so the patthar sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

sab haqīqat meñ ubhartā jab bhī sach lagtā na thā

ḳhvāb meñ hote ujāgar sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

yaad thā 'suqrāt' kā qissa sabhī ko 'ehtirām'

sochiye aise meñ baḌh kar sach ko sach kahtā to kaun

ghaiz ka suraj tha sar par sach ko sach kahta to kaun

ras aata kis ko mahshar sach ko sach kahta to kaun

sab ne paDh rakkha tha sach ki jit hoti hai magar

tha bharosa kis ko sach par sach ko sach kahta to kaun

man rakhta kaun wish ka kaun apnata salib

koi isa tha na shankar sach ko sach kahta to kaun

tha kisi ka bhi na maqsad sach ko jhuTlana magar

munh mein rakh kar luqma-e-tar sach ko sach kahta to kaun

aadmi to KHair se basti mein milte hi na the

dewta the so the patthar sach ko sach kahta to kaun

sab haqiqat mein ubharta jab bhi sach lagta na tha

KHwab mein hote ujagar sach ko sach kahta to kaun

yaad tha 'suqraat' ka qissa sabhi ko 'ehtiram'

sochiye aise mein baDh kar sach ko sach kahta to kaun
