rakht-e-gurez gam se aage ki baat hai
duniya, faqat qayam se aage ki baat hai

tu raste bichha na charaghon se lau tarash
ye ishq ehtimam se aage ki baat hai

in pattharon ke sath kabhi rah ke dekhiye
ye khamushi kalam se aage ki baat hai

main ne adu ke kheme mein bheja hai ek charagh
ye ain intiqam se aage ki baat hai

tu aab-o-gil se jism bana, ism mat sikha
'babar' ye tere kaam se aage ki baat hai
