sar ke baalon par sapedi ka asar badhta gaya
zulmaten chhatti gain nur-e-sahar badhta gaya

rafta rafta dil pe fitrat ka asar badhta gaya
jaise jaise din gae marne se dar badhta gaya

raaz-e-hasti khul chuka tha main tha aur masti-e-shauq
maut jis jis rukh hati main bhi udhar badhta gaya

dair-o-kaba tur-o-mahshar mein kise tha imtiyaz
tum jidhar badhte gae dil bhi udhar badhta gaya
