wo jo tere faqir hote hain
aadmi be-nazir hote hain

dekhne wala ek nahin milta
aankh wale kasir hote hain

jin ko daulat haqir lagti hai
uff! wo kitne amir hote hain

jin ko qudrat ne husn bakhsha ho
qudratan kuchh sharir hote hain

zindagi ke hasin tarkash mein
kitne be-rahm tir hote hain

wo parinde jo aankh rakhte hain
sab se pahle asir hote hain

phul daman mein chand rakh lije
raste mein faqir hote hain

hai khushi bhi ajib shai lekin
gham bade dil-pazir hote hain

ai 'adam' ehtiyat logon se
log munkir-nakir hote hain
