baḌhe chalo ki thakan to nashe kī mahfil hai
abhī to duur bahut duur apnī manzil hai
ye be-qarār tabassum tire laboñ kā fusūñ
yahī to chāk-e-garebāñ kī pahlī manzil hai
kisī kā raaz to phir bhī parā.ī baat huī
ḳhud apne dil ko samajhnā bhī saḳht mushkil hai
kisī ne chāñd pe lahrā diyā hai parcham-e-vaqt
koī hamārī tarah sahl jis ko mushkil hai
ik ābshār pe mānind-e-barg-e-āvāra
koī maqām hai apnā na koī manzil hai
