ap bevajah pareshan-si kyoan haian madam?
log kahate haian to phir thik hi kahate hoange
mere ahabab ne tahazib n sikhi hogi
mere mahaul mean insan n rahate hoange
noor-e-saramaya se hai roo-e-tamaddun ki jila
ham jahaan haian vahaan tahazib nahian pal sakati
mufalisi hiss-e-latafat ko mita deti hai
bhookh adab ke saanche mean nahian dhal sakati[1]
log kahate haian to, logoan pe tajjub kaisa
sach to kahate haian ki, nadaroan ki izzat kaisi
log kahate haian - magar ap abhi tak chup haian
ap bhi kahie garibo mean sharafat kaisi
nek madam ! bahut jald vo daur ayega
jab hamean zist ke adavar parakhane hoange
apani zillat ki qasam, apaki azamat ki qasam
hamako tazim ke me'ar parakhane hoange[2]
ham ne har daur mean tazalil sahi hai lekin
ham ne har daur ke chehare ko zia baqshi hai
ham ne har daur mean mehanat ke sitam jhele haian
ham ne har daur ke hathoan ko hina baqshi hai[3]
lekin in talkh mubahis se bhala kya hasil?
log kahate haian to phir thik hi kahate hoange
mere ehabab ne tahazib n sikhi hogi
mere mahaul mean insan n rahate hoange[4]
vajah berangi-e-gulazar kahooan ya n kahooan
kaun hai kitana gunahagar kahooan ya n kahooan
