wo khush-libas bhi khush-dil bhi khush-ada bhi hai
magar wo ek hai kyun us se ye gila bhi hai

hamesha mandir-o-masjid mein wo nahin rahta
suna hai bachchon mein chhup kar wo khelta bhi hai

na jaane ek mein us jaise aur kitne hain
wo jitna pas hai utna hi wo juda bhi hai

wahi amir jo rozi-rasan hai aalam ka
faqir ban ke kabhi bhik mangta bhi hai

akela hota to kuchh aur faisla hota
meri shikast mein shamil meri dua bhi hai
