bik raha hun sar-e-bazar zara dekho to
hai koi mera kharidar zara dekho to

ghat gaya ilm ka mear zara dekho to
kuchh nahin qimat-e-fankar zara dekho to

mere purkhon ne jo mehnat se uthai thi kabhi
gir gai ghar ki wo diwar zara dekho to

dekhte rah gae sab log shikayat hai yahi
lut gae hum sar-e-bazar zara dekho to

kaun ye tum se kahe meri taraf ek nazar
mere hamdam mere gham-khwar zara dekho to

kis ka ghar lut gaya sailab-e-hawadis mein yahan
dosto aaj ka akhbar zara dekho to

qafile walon se 'masud' chalo badh ke kaho
zist ki rah hai dushwar zara dekho to
