rah-e-dushwar mein chalna sikho
rukh zamane ka badalna sikho

zindagi khud hi sanwar jaegi
gham ke sanche mein to dhalna sikho

mai-parasti ki hai is mein tauhin
pi liya hai to sambhalna sikho

tirgi aap hi chhat jaegi
ban ke khurshid nikalna sikho

dil ko patthar na banao apne
mom ki tarah pighalna sikho

ho ke sargarm-e-amal ai 'shair'
nazm aalam ka badalna sikho
