imkan se bahar kabhi aasar se aage
mahshar hai mere dida-e-khun-bar se aage

irfan ki had ya mere paikar ki shararat
nikla mera saya meri dastar se aage

ek jins-zada nasl hai tahzib ke pichhe
bazar hai ek kucha-o-bazar se aage

suraj hai shab-o-roz taaqub mein wagarna
hai aur bahut raat ke asrar se aage

hum log ki manzil ke bhulawe ke giraftar
aasar se pichhe kabhi aasar se aage
