nannhi si chyunti ne lalkara hai ek hathi ko
log karte hain salam us ki jawan-mardi ko

ho agar 'azm jawan kuchh bhi nahin na-mumkin
han takabbur hi janam deta hai nakaami ko

hairat-angez yaqinan hai ye sara manzar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar

sanp ke khauf se ek newla jhadi mein chhupa
kal jo tha sher nazar aata hai gidad jaisa

kaam hikmat bhi nahin aati hai be-himmat ki
sanp ne newle ko jhadi mein ghus kar mara

ma'rka nazron se aisa kabhi guzra na magar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar

dekho ma'muli parindon ne kiya hai ye kamal
murghiyan tang huin kar diya sab ne hadtal

kha gae le ke maza log sab un ke ande
nasl ab kaise chale samne un ke hai sawal

murghiyan baithi hain hadtal pe ta-hadd-e-nazar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar

ghas khata hua ek sher nazar aaya hai
ghol ne hirnon ke hairat se use dekha hai

us ko majbur kiya hai kisi bimari ne
gosht khane se hakimon ne use roka hai

hairat-angez nazar aata hai sara manzar
aaj ki taza khabar aaj ki taza khabar
