jine ki kashmakash mein na be-kar daliye
main third-diwisioner hun mujhe mar daliye

phir nam apna qaum ka meamar daliye
degree ko meri lijiye aachaar daliye

kuchh qaum ka bhala ho to kuchh aap ka bhala
mera bhala ho kuchh mere man bap ka bhala

jata hai jis jagah bhi koi third-diwisioner
kahte hain sab ki aa gaya tu kis liye idhar

tu chal yahan se teri na hogi yahan guzar
lauh-e-jahan pe harf-e-mukarrar hun main magar

ya-rab zamana mujh ko mitata hai kis liye
har shakhs mujh ko aankh dikhata hai kis liye

main pas ho gaya hun magar phir bhi fail hun
talim ke idaron ke hathon mein khel hun

jis ka nishana jae khata wo ghulail hun
main khak mein mila hua mitti ka tel hun

aur uniwersity bhi nahin hai refinery
surat bhi tasfiye ki nahin koi zahiri

akhbar main ne dekha to mujh par hua ayan
hote hain pas wo bhi na den jo ki imtihan

yani ki honorary bhi milti hain degreeyan
main jis zamin pe pahuncha wahin paya aasman

degree hai ek gunahon ki tahrir mere sath
gar ho sake to mang lun ek umr ko udhaar

aur imtihan jis ka nahin koi e'tibar
us imtihan ki bazi lagaunga bar bar

kahte hain log is ko ye machhli ka hai shikar
ye imtihan machhli phansane ka jal hai

aalam tamam halqa-e-dam-e-khayal hai
