aarzu hasrat-e-nakaam se aage na baDhi

aarzū hasrat-e-nākām se aage na baḌhī

fikr andesha-e-anjām se aage na baḌhī

sū-e-manzil kabhī do gaam se aage na baḌhī

zindagī maut ke ilzām se aage na baḌhī

zulf-o-ruḳh ke sahar-o-shām se aage na baḌhī

āshiqī rahguzar-e-ām se aage na baḌhī

rah ga.ī rif.at-e-parvāz kī hasrat dil meñ

par-fishānī qafas-o-dām se aage na baḌhī

manzil-e-be-ḳhudī-e-shauq kī azmat ma.alūm

tishna-kāmoñ kī nazar jaam se aage na baḌhī

kitnī shāmeñ ga.iiñ aur kitne savere aa.e

nigah-e-muntazir ik shaam se aage na baḌhī

pākī-e-nafs kī azmat kā to kyā zikr 'figār'

zohd kī baat bhī ehrām se aage na baḌhī

aarzu hasrat-e-nakaam se aage na baDhi

fikr andesha-e-anjam se aage na baDhi

su-e-manzil kabhi do gam se aage na baDhi

zindagi maut ke ilzam se aage na baDhi

zulf-o-ruKH ke sahar-o-sham se aage na baDhi

aashiqi rahguzar-e-am se aage na baDhi

rah gai rifat-e-parwaz ki hasrat dil mein

par-fishani qafas-o-dam se aage na baDhi

manzil-e-be-KHudi-e-shauq ki azmat malum

tishna-kaamon ki nazar jam se aage na baDhi

kitni shamen gain aur kitne sawere aae

nigah-e-muntazir ek sham se aage na baDhi

paki-e-nafs ki azmat ka to kya zikr 'figar'

zohd ki baat bhi ehram se aage na baDhi
