sasti shohrat hasil karne kuchon mein chaubaron mein
khote sikke uchhle uchhle phirte hain bazaron mein

hain kuchh aise log jo apne paison se chhapwate hain
auron ke kandhon pe chadh kar taswiren akhbaron mein

bhuki nangi janta kab tak pet ka dhol bajaegi
bolo babu kuchh to bolo kya rakkha hai naron mein

bahta pani phul kanwal ke sath baha le aata hai
amn ki aasha naw bani hai dariyaon ke dhaaron mein

'khusraw' ek aaseb ke dar se ghar ka ghar sab kil diya
phir bhi ek aaseb hai zinda jism ki in diwaron mein
