aarzu hasrat-e-nakaam se aage na badhi
fikr andesha-e-anjam se aage na badhi

su-e-manzil kabhi do gam se aage na badhi
zindagi maut ke ilzam se aage na badhi

zulf-o-rukh ke sahar-o-sham se aage na badhi
aashiqi rahguzar-e-am se aage na badhi

rah gai rifat-e-parwaz ki hasrat dil mein
par-fishani qafas-o-dam se aage na badhi

manzil-e-be-khudi-e-shauq ki azmat malum
tishna-kaamon ki nazar jam se aage na badhi

kitni shamen gain aur kitne sawere aae
nigah-e-muntazir ek sham se aage na badhi

paki-e-nafs ki azmat ka to kya zikr 'figar'
zohd ki baat bhi ehram se aage na badhi
