miyan-e-hind-o-pakistan ek sarhad ka jhagda hai
wagarna is imarat ke manare ek jaise hain

karachi ka kitchen ho ya wo dakkan ki rasoi ho
namak ka farq hai baigan baghaare ek jaise hain

pajamon ke design ko badal dala to kya gham hai
hamari biwiyon ke to gharare ek jaise hain

pareshan-haal hai public magar donon mamalik ke
mirasi cricketer filmi-sitare ek jaise hain

kunware log to har mulk mein aazad phirte hain
magar shadi-shuda qismat ke mare ek jaise hain

barae-aqd-khwani qaziyon mein farq hai lekin
karachi aur dilli ke chuware ek jaise hain

kunwara aadmi ho ya koi aazad leader ho
jo be-pende ke laute hain wo sare ek jaise hain

nikamme rahnuma aur aql se paidal siyasat-dan
hamare ek jaise hain tumhaare ek jaise hain

yahan ka 'khalid-e-irfan' wahan ke 'rahat-indori'
nire shair hain donon ke sitare ek jaise hain
