Sitam ke baad ab ik aur he sitam aage
Ye dekhiye ke he saamaan kiya baham aage

Yaqee.N ki had mai.N ager hal ye maamala hota
Yaqee.N ki had se guzarta na ye qadam aage

Dikhe ge is mai.N bhala kab mujhe koi surat
Rakha he aap ne jo la ke jam-e-jam aage

Nahi.N karoo.N ga mai.N toba kabhi gunahoo.N se
Ghuta he toba bhi kerne se mera dam aage

Bahaao.N ashk-e-nidamat mai.N kiyoo.N nigahoo.N se
Hua he faida is ka bhi mujh ko kam aage
