har qadam āgahī kī samt gayā
maiñ sadā raushnī kī samt gayā
lafz le kar ḳhayāl kī vus.at
sher kī tāzgī kī samt gayā
maiñ jo utrā lahad ke ziine se
ik na.ī zindagī kī samt gayā
tishnagī ko maiñ apne saath liye
dasht-e-āvārgī kī samt gayā
kachche rañgoñ kī is numā.ish se
maiñ uThā sādgī kī samt gayā
nutq phir tāzgī kī ḳhvāhish meñ
gosha-e-ḳhāmoshī kī samt gayā
