"is pal do pal ki hasti men kya tera hai kya mera hai"

"in se avaz-e-karb aati hai zard patton pe mat chale koi"

"vo mujh se puchhne laga mere saval ab aur main bhi de raha huun jo is ke javab the"

"faqih-e-shahr se kuchh khaas dushmani to nahin faqih-e-shahr se lekin Thani si rahti hai"

"apne liye bhi koi ri.ayat rava nahin is munsifi ki khu ne to saffak kar diya"

"boli lagi mata-e-hunar ki to ahl-e-fan jaldi men apne khvab bhi nilam kar ga.e"

is pal do pal ki hasti mein
kyaa teraa hai kyaa meraa hai

in se aavaaz-e-karb aati hai
zard patton pe mat chale koi

vo mujh se puchhne lagaa mere savaal ab
aur main bhi de rahaa huun jo is ke javaab the

faqih-e-shahr se kuchh khaas dushmani to nahin
faqih-e-shahr se lekin Thani si rahti hai

apne liye bhi koi riaayat ravaa nahin
is munsifi ki khu ne to saffaak kar diyaa

boli lagi mata-e-hunar ki to ahl-e-fan
jaldi mein apne khvaab bhi nilaam kar gae
