na kah haq mein buzurgon ki kadi baat
kahenge log chhota munh badi baat

kahe ek baat phule sau shagufe
shariron ne banai phuljhadi baat

matanat hai bahut kam bolti mein
khamoshi dopahar ho do-ghadi baat

mujhe bhata hai halkana tumhaara
dahan-gul ki kali hai gul-jhadi baat

bandhe mazmun par kholo na munh 'bahr'
maza deti nahin kanon padi baat
