wajib-ul-ehtiram aadmi tha
jo bada be-lagam aadmi tha

jab bhi tola gaya to aadmi mein
yahi ek do gram aadmi tha

wo bhi ghaeb tha apni kursi se
wo jo qaem-maqam aadmi tha

karta rahta tha kuchh na kuchh ijad
wo jo ek na-tamam aadmi tha

aadmi baadshah tha aadmi ka
aadmi ka ghulam aadmi tha

jo darinde the padh rahe the namaz
aur un ka imam aadmi tha
