chahta hun ki mera dard-e-jigar aur badhe
tirgi-e-shab-e-gham ta-ba-sahar aur badhe

dur hai mujh se abhi daman-e-sad-rang un ka
karwan ashkon ka ai dida-e-tar aur badhe

yun to tanha hi chala jaunga main manzil tak
tum agar sath chalo azm-e-safar aur badhe

kitni rangin hai jis rah pe uttha hai qadam
chahta hun ki teri rahguzar aur badhe

abhi bhadki hai ki aati hai mahak shoalon ki
ishq ki aag agar aur agar aur badhe

abhi is sine mein zakhmon ki jagah baqi hai
aap ki shokh-ada shokh-nazar aur badhe
