duniya ki aab-o-tab se aage chale gae
hum ishq ke azab se aage chale gae

aankhon ne likh liye hain fasane umid ke
aansu fasil-e-ab se aage chale gae

us ne qubuliyat ki sanad jab se di mujhe
sab harf is kitab se aage chale gae

jab khushbuon ke dar pe hui raushni to hum
gulshan ke har gulab se aage chale gae

khamoshiyon ki jab se samajhne lage zaban
lafzon ke iztirab se aage chale gae

aankhen chamak uthi hain jo raushan khayal se
diwangi ke khwab se aage chale gae
