hazrat aadam pe jo guzri hai sab ko yaad hai
dana-e-gandum ki zinda aaj tak be-dad hai

aaj phir aulad-e-adam par wahi uftad hai
is ka bani bhi farishton ka wahi ustad hai

daur daura aaj is ka chor-bazaron mein hai
maherin-e-chor-bazari ke gham-khwaron mein hai

un mein dekha is ka jalwa jo zakhira-baz hain
dafn tah-khanon mein jin ke boriyon ke raaz hain

boriyon se milte-julte tond ke andaz hain
aur fariyaad-o-buka mein sab ke ham-awaz hain

tond par hai hath aur faqon se haalat zar hai
in ko indhan is jahannam ke liye darkar hai

ho gaya bazar se aate ka aisa intiqal
ab khule bazar mein aate ka milna hai muhaal

ek zakhira-baz maulana-numa dukan-dar
qaum ke is ibtila se kal bahut the be-qarar

aah is millat ka kyun gehun pe hai dar-o-madar
kash khati bajra ya kash ye khati jawar

is ke khane ke liye nemat har ek maujud hai
dana-e-gandum bhala kyun gauhar-e-maqsud hai

sach jo puchho to kahun shaitan ka ration hai ye
jis ne jannat lut li insan ka wo dushman hai ye

haif hai insan kar de is par jannat tak nisar
sab ko gandum se bachana ai mere parwardigar

sainkadon man yun to gehun mere tah-khane mein hai
aur maza bhi kya mujhe aazar pahchane mein hai

mere hisse ki wahi mai hai jo paimane mein hai
han magar dozakh jo hai gehun ke parwane mein hai

jis ne gehun kha liya dozakh mein gole khaega
jis ko jannat chahiye wo sirf chhole khaega
