gate hue pedon ki khunuk chhanw se aage nikal aae
hum dhup mein jalne ko tere ganw se aage nikal aae

aisa bhi to mumkin hai mile be-talab ek muzhda-e-manzil
hum apni duaon se tamannaon se aage nikal aae

kahte hain ki jismon ko ek ruh-e-muqaddas ki dua hai
wo jism ki jo apne thake panw se aage nikal aae

thoda sa bhi jin logon ko irfan-e-mazahib tha wo bach kar
kabon se shiwalon se kalisaon se aage nikal aae

the hum bhi gunahgar par ek zahid makkar ki zid
bazar mein bikti hui salmaon se aage nikal aae

shahron ke makinon se mili jab hamein wahshat ki zamanat
hum si ke garebanon ko sahraon se aage nikal aae

banti rahi ek duniya 'qatil' apni kharidar magar hum
yusuf na bane aur zulekhaon se aage nikal aae
