Saron Par Taj Rakkhe The Qadam Par TaKHt Rakkha Tha

saron par taj rakkhe the qadam par taKHt rakkha tha

wo kaisa waqt tha muTThi mein sara waqt rakkha tha

wo tanha KHaksari thi nibhaya umr bhar us ne

mizaj-e-shah-e-alamgir warna saKHt rakkha tha

bahut saman tha ghar mein bahut si neamaten bhi thin

musafir ne magar apna safar be-raKHt rakkha tha

gire the dhire dhire sare kangure zamane ke

haweli mein to ab ke la-makan yak-laKHt rakkha tha

main sab ko chhoD kar duniya tere raste pe aa jata

magar is raste mein bhi dil-e-kam-baKHt rakkha tha
