khaksari se tu iksir se aage badh ja
wo zamin ban ki falak-e-pir se aage badh ja

umr bhar jis se giraftar-e-mohabbat na chhuten
zulf-e-jaanan tu hi zanjir se aage badh ja

dard dekhe jo tujhe dekh ke sar ko patke
gham-o-andoh ki taswir se aage badh ja

ai siyah-bakhti teri khu hai agar badhne ki
yar ki zulf-e-girah-gir se aage badh ja

nala-e-nim-shabi ko hai meri ye takid
kat mein burrish-e-shamshir se aage badh ja

mizha-e-yar ka abru se ishaara hai yahi
tujh mein taqat hai agar tir se aage badh ja

tu hi ai aah-e-rasa arsh-e-mualla pe pahunch
tu hi ab nala-e-shabgir se aage badh ja

panw pichhe na hata manzil-e-maqsud pakad
jo mile tu usi rahgir se aage badh ja

tujh ko ai gardish-e-kaunain mere sar ki qasam
tu meri gardish-e-taqdir se aage badh ja

hai nazar-baz agar kar tu nazara us ka
yar ke husn ki tanwir se aage badh ja

zindagi chahe to ho ja tu aziz-e-har-dil
zaiqe mein shakar-o-shir se aage badh ja
