daulat mere pichhe na sharafat mere aage
chalta hai mera saya-e-wahshat mere aage

qudrat ne banaya hai mujhe aisa bayaban
ud jati hai sahraon ki rangat mere aage

dushman ki nazar aata hun main jaan ka apni
phiki hai raqibon ki raqabat mere aage

kuchh karne nahin deti meri kahili mujh ko
be-kar padi rahti hai fursat mere aage

kuchh khoya hua hai jo kisi ko nahin milta
phirte hain pareshan qad-o-qamat mere aage

jab se ye khula mujh pe ki main hun nahin kuchh
tab se na jahannum hai na jannat mere aage

hijrat ka kai bar kiya main ne irada
har baat 'shakil' aa gaya bhaarat mere aage
