baat kuchh hita-e-aghyar se aage na badhi
meri duniya meri diwar se aage na badhi

kaun tha kis ki jhalak pa ke badha main aage
kya wo taqrir thi inkar se aage na badhi

khwab ne jast lagai to falak chhu aaya
aur hasrat dil-e-bimar se aage na badhi

chaak-e-yusuf pe kiye ishq ne sadha sajde
aur hawas garmi-e-bazar se aage na badhi

parda-e-shab se ubharti hui subh-e-jaan-bez
tere gesu tere rukhsar se aage na badhi
