sab jhad phunk sikh gae shaikh ji se hum
murghe ko zabh karte hain ulti chhuri se hum

bachpan mein kya ataik kiya tha zukaam ne
parhez kar rahe hain abhi tak dahi se hum

habit kuchh is tarah hui kha kha ke dalda
jiz-biz se hone lagte hain khushbu-e-ghi se hum

munh apna ek bar jala tha jo dudh se
pine lage hain phunk ke maththa tabhi se hum

jis shaeri se shaikh hain faqe mein mubtala
rozi kama rahe hain usi shaeri se hum

khushbu-e-murgh aati hai har lafz lafz se
karte hain guftugu jo kisi maulwi se hum

aane do waqt tum ko chakhaenge wo maza
is zimn mein bataen bhala kya abhi se hum

jab se hua hai mahfil-e-'bazagh' se rabta
nagah kat gae hain sabha mein sabhi se hum
