fikr pabandi-e-haalat se aage na badhi
zindagi qaid-e-maqamat se aage na badhi

hum samajhte the gham-e-dil ka mudawa hogi
wo nazar pursish-e-haalat se aage na badhi

un ki khamoshi bhi afsana-dar-afsana bani
hum ne jo baat kahi baat se aage na badhi

sarkhushi ban na saki zahr-e-alam ka tiryak
zindagi talkhi-e-haalat se aage na badhi

ishq har marhala-e-gham ki haden tod chuka
aql andesha-e-haalat se aage na badhi

aisi jannat ki hawas tujh ko mubarak zahid
jo tere husn-e-khayalat se aage na badhi

nigah-e-dost mein tauqir nahin us ki hamid
wo tamanna jo munajat se aage na badhi
