mashriqi duniya mein biwi hai agar naukar ka nam
maghribi duniya mein shofar jaaniye shauhar ka nam

rasm-e-shadi ghat rahi hai badh rahi hai dosti
man bata sakti nahin bachchon ko ab father ka nam

shadiyan dushwar-tar karne lagi rasm-e-jahez
lab pe aasani se aata hi nahin dukhtar ka nam

kisht-o-khun mein kat rahe hain is tarah logon ke sar
aadmi hai aaj-kal muli ka ya gajar ka nam

ganw ke kitne manazir rang barsane lage
dafatan yaad aa gaya chhode hue aajar ka nam

kals ka dullar ka dachhigam ka madar ka nam
madmati ka tragga-bal ka aur sherasar ka nam
