college ke mudarris se jo ho aap ko milna
wo pichhle-pahar apne nasheman mein milega

aur subh ko wo chand kitabon ka muallif
nashir se taqaza-e-commission mein milega

aur din ko wo college mein padhane se ziyaada
mashshatgi-e-zulf election mein milega

kholega siyasat ki girah chashm-zadan mein
lekin dam-e-lecture badi uljhan mein milega

ghaalib ke kisi sher ka matlab na samajh kar
pesh-e-talaba qalb ki dhadkan mein milega

uljhega jo iqbaal ke gesu-e-khudi mein
tajziya-e-fan-kari-e-milton mein milega

lecture bhi jo dega to wo meter se ziyaada
uljha hua style-o-diction mein milega

tahqiq ka sauda kabhi hoga to sar-e-sham
padhta hua katba kisi madfan mein milega

aur raat ko bachchon ko kisi baat pe dhap ke
makkhi ki tarah biwi se bhan-bhan mein malega
