haweliyon mein meri tarbiyat nahin hoti
to aaj sar pe tapakne ko chhat nahin hoti

hamare ghar ka pata puchhne se kya hasil
udasiyon ki koi shahriyat nahin hoti

charagh ghar ka ho mahfil ka ho ki mandir ka
hawa ke pas koi maslahat nahin hoti

hamein jo khud mein simatne ka fan nahin aata
to aaj aisi teri saltanat nahin hoti

'wasim' shahr mein sachchaiyon ke lab hote
to aaj khabron mein sab khairiyat nahin hoti
