zakhm ko phul lahu ko jo hina kahte hain
un ko shair nahin shair ka chacha kahte hain

hum to patli si chhadi bhi nahin kahte us ko
log aulad ko piri ka asa kahte hain

sirf afsar use kahna to koi baat nahin
hum to sahab ko clerkon ka khuda kahte hain

shadiyan apni kiya karte hain jo le ke talaq
un ko sab log gada ibn-e-gada kahte hain

us ko pite hi kiya karta hun mein sair-e-falak
aasmani use sab log baja kahte hain

aakhirash ho hi gaya shaikh se aur hum se milap
wo bhatija hamein hum un ko chacha kahte hain

sun ke aawaz-e-azan mis ne ye puchha 'hashim'
is qadar chikh ke masjid mein ye kya kahte hain
