jo takabbur se bhatakti hai zaban
aage aage phir bahakti hai zaban

ho gaya nasur har ek lafz hai
bolta hun pakne lagti hai zaban

jild se chhan chhan ke bahte hain khayal
aur aankhon se chhalakti hai zaban

nam-e-jaan kitna garan hai jaan pe
halq galta hai pighalti hai zaban

moajiza hai ye bhi us ke qaul ka
bund ban kar jo barasti hai zaban

kuchh mulaqaton mein hi hai ye asar
tujh mein bhi meri jhalakti hai zaban
