wo ja rahi hain saron pe patthar
uthae mazdur aurten kuchh

ye khurdure hath maile panw
jami hain honton pe papdiyan si

aur pasine mein hain sharabor
sulagti dopahar mein wo mil kar

ek diwar chun rahi hain
hisar-e-sangin banega koi

ye dekh kar haal un ka mujh ko
khayal rah rah ke aa raha hai

kahan hain wo marmarin si bahen
wo gudgude hath narm-o-nazuk

wo gesu-e-ambarin-o-mushkin
wo tir-e-mizhgan kaman-e-abru

wo lal lab aur wo ru-e-zeba
wo naznin aurten kahan hain

wo mah-jabin aurten kahan hain
wo jin ki tarif karte karte

adib-o-shair nahin hain thakte
