dhund saya na shajar aage bhi
tai jo karna hai safar aage bhi

yunhi shamshiron ko lalkarega
rah gaya dhad pe jo sar aage bhi

dur tak nam nahin sae ka
hain to pichhe bhi shajar aage bhi

kyun sitamgar ko sitamgar bolo
zinda rahna hai agar aage bhi

rokta kaun safar kis dil se
thi muradon ki dagar aage bhi

daere tut na pae warna
ja to sakti thi nazar aage bhi

kya khushamad se jhatakna daman
kaam dega ye hunar aage bhi

sau janm le ke jahan pahuncha hun
mujh ko jaana hai magar aage bhi

sher ke rup mein dete rahna
'ehtiram' apni khabar aage bhi
