lagta hai pech-o-tab ke aage kuchh aur hai
is shor-e-inqalab ke aage kuchh aur hai

be-shak mere sawal ke pichhe hai aur baat
kya tere is jawab ke aage kuchh aur hai

har chand meri aankhon ne dekha nahin hunuz
lekin tilism-e-khwab ke aage kuchh aur hai

jo tujh se khush-jamal hai aur dil-fareb bhi
duniya tere shabab ke aage kuchh aur hai

udta hua uqab to aankhon mein qaid hai
ab dekhiye uqab ke aage kuchh aur hai

han jis se us zamin ka tawazun hai barqarar
din raat ke azab ke aage kuchh aur hai

parda pada hua hai meri aankh par talab
ya barq-o-aftab ke aage kuchh aur hai
