kuchh bhi dushwar nahin azm-e-jawan ke aage
aashiyan bante gae barq-e-tapan ke aage

zindagi naghma-e-dil-kash hai magar ai nadan
tu ne sikha hi nahin aah-o-fughan ke aage

qissa-e-bazm-e-tarab tazkira-e-mausam-e-gul
khub hain yun to magar sokhta-jaan ke aage

hum hain aur fasl-e-khizan fasl-e-khizan hai aur hum
hum se kya puchhte ho fasl-e-khizan ke aage

dastaras aql ki hai sarhad-e-idrak sahi
manzilen aur bhi hain wahm-o-guman ke aage

zahmat-e-yak-nigah-e-lutf kabhi to ai dost
hum ko kahna hai bahut lafz-o-bayan ke aage

yun to dozakh mein bhi hangame bapa hain lekin
phike phike se hain aashob-e-jahan ke aage
