kuchh bhi nahin hai aalam-e-zarraat se aage
ek aalam-e-hu aalam-e-aswat se aage

milte hain smawat smawat se aage
har gam hijabaat hijabaat se aage

is dahr mein hum khud bhi hain minjumala khurafat
kis tarah nazar jae khurafat se aage

ai raat ke maro tumhein kis tarah bujhaun
ek subh bhi ek din bhi hai is raat se aage

insan hain magar bich ki manzil mein khade hain
haiwan se pichhe hain jamadat se aage

jo kuchh hai yahan wo hai kharabaat ke andar
kuchh bhi nahin ai rind kharabaat se aage

kya sochte ho zehn mein wo aa nahin sakta
kya sochte ho hai wo khayalat se aage

hone ko wo jaisa bhi ho hum hain to wo hoga
khamoshi hi khamoshi hai is baat se aage

samjhenge wahi zehn 'jamil' apne sukhan ko
jati hai nazar jin ki tabiat se aage
