najmi fahmi uzma raana
aao dekhen chidiya-khana

jin ke nam suna karte ho
aaj unhen nazdik se dekho

ek se ek parinde dekho
aadam-khor darinde dekho

mor saron par taj sajae
nach rahe hain par phailae

bulbul dekho tota dekho
koyal dekho maina dekho

khush-awaz papiha dekho
hud-hud aur gaurayya dekho

bhonra dekho titli dekho
sher ki khala billi dekho

zebra ghoda tattu khachchar
baz kabutar kawwa titar

wo dekho khargosh gilahri
bara-singha aur wo hirni

ban-manus aur bhaalu bhi hai
newla aur kangaru bhi hai

bandar ki naqqali dekho
pit rahe hain tali dekho

do do hathi jhum rahe hain
dur gadhe bhi ghum rahe hain

sheron ka ghurrana dekho
tendwe ka bal khana dekho

wo dekho afriqi gainda
aur ye hindostani chita

phan kadhe ek nagan bhi hai
lomdi ek makkaran bhi hai

buzdil gidad lakkad-baggha
kaun banega leader is ka

dilkash tair aabi dekho
kaisi hai murghabi dekho

machhli ko lahraate dekho
meindak ko tarraate dekho

ek magarmachh jag raha hai
dekh ke kachhwa bhag raha hai

aaj 'faragh' uncle ne dekha
kalkatte ka chidiya-khana
