khud ko har pal se ba-khabar rakhiye
lamha lamha sanbhaal kar rakhiye

kis ko fursat hai baat ko parkhe
apne lahje ko pur-asar rakhiye

ye sitare bahut hain kaj-raftar
in ki raftar par nazar rakhiye

intiqal aur tabaadala bar-haq
ghar ka saman mukhtasar rakhiye

hai bahut sakht kal ka registan
chhagalen aaj hi se bhar rakhiye

shairana rawish ye hai 'kazim'
be-khabar ban ke sab khabar rakhiye
