zaban walon se ek be-zaban puchhta hai
makin kahan gae khali makan puchhta hai

khuda yahan bhi tassub wahan bhi hai ki nahin
karachi walon se hindostan puchhta hai

mujhe ye dhup ye barsat kyun satati hai
ye baat mujh se mera saeban puchhta hai

mizaj puchhne walon se khairiyat teri
tera mariz tera nim-jaan puchhta hai

hamare bare mein kuchh puchhta nahin koi
koi nasab to koi khandan puchhta hai
