kis ki mehnat ke ye shahkar nazar aate hain
ped jo rah mein samar-dar nazar aate hain

aur dastar ki tazhik bhala kya hogi
sar kate sahab-e-dastar nazar aate hain

kya hua habs-zada hai jo makinon ka mizaj
ghar ke kamre to hawa-dar nazar aate hain

bhuk faqon se baghal-gir hui hai aise
shahr mein qaht ke aasar nazar aate hain

un ke andar ka to insan hai reza-reza
log qamat mein jo kohsar nazar aate hain

apni har baat pe ad jate hain bachchon ki tarah
sar-phire sahab-e-kirdar nazar aate hain

har jabin par hai saji jhut ki surkhi ai 'jaan'
ab to insan bhi akhbar nazar aate hain
