khabar hai mahrumiyon se aage nikal chuka hai
faqir viraniyon se aage nikal chuka hai

hamein ye takid ki gai hai ki hanste rahiye
so qahqaha siskiyon se aage nikal chuka hai

ye kis taaqub mein bujh rahi hain hamari aankhen
ye kaun binaiyon se aage nikal chuka hai

maqam-e-hairat pe aql pahunchi khula muamma
qayas hairaniyon se aage nikal chuka hai

hawas mahlon mein aaj qindil jal bujhi hain
pa ek diya aandhiyon se aage nikal chuka hai

ai shoabda-gar khabar hai tujh ko ki shoabada-bin
tere tamashaiyon se aage nikal chuka hai

tabib aab-e-hayat lae hain kasa bhar lo
mariz aasaniyon se aage nikal chuka hai

qafas mein rah kar laga hai ji aise bediyon se
asir aazadiyon se aage nikal chuka hai

bayan ke jangalon mein jis ko talashte ho
wo zabt ki wadiyon se aage nikal chuka hai

sukhan-salakhen bhi zang-alud ho chuki hain
shuur bhi qafiyon se aage nikal chuka hai

fana ki bai'at mein aa chuka hai junun-e-'jaani'
baqa ke ab zawiyon se aage nikal chuka hai
