bazar-e-jihaalat mein sukhan bech raha hun
ye git ye naghmat ye fan bech raha hun

hai koi kharidar to aawaz lagae
roti ke ewaz sher-o-sukhan bech raha hun

kya dam lagate ho chalo tum hi batao
sachchai ka anmol ratan bech raha hun

purkhon ne banaya tha jise lakh jatan se
tahzib-o-adab ka wo bhawan bech raha hun

tum thik hi kahte the tijarat nahin aasan
ab kaun kharide jo sukhan bech raha hun
