bata teri ghiza kya hai

agar dāvat ho khāne kī to is meñ sochnā kyā hai

nahīñ gar ye ḳhudā kī den to is ke sivā kyā hai

jo ghar meñ daal roTī roz hī khaa.e bilā-nāġha

vahī jānegā biryānī matanjan meñ mazā kyā hai

mirā ye mashvara tū maan le hogā bhalā terā

kabhī ye bhuul kar mat dekh dastar pe rakhā kyā hai

muqaddar meñ jo likhā hai tire khā le use DaT kar

takalluf to sarāsar ik aziyyat ke sivā kyā hai

samajh le naam terā hī likhā hai daane daane par

kabhī mat soch me.ade ke liye achchhā burā kyā hai

tū hifz-e-mā-taqaddum aur itmīnān kī ḳhātir

pakaḌ kar mezbāñ ko pūchh le āḳhir pakā kyā hai

kabhī tū ne paḌhā bhī hai mire kapḌe ke dastar par

jalī harfoñ kī jo tahrīr hai us meñ likhā kyā hai

shikam ko kar vasī.a itnā ki har pakvān se pahle

tujhe ḳhud mezbāñ pūchhe batā terī ġhizā kyā hai

mujhe khāne ke fauran baad hī phir bhuuk lagtī hai

koī to ye batā.e 'ḳhvāh-maḳhvāh' mujh ko huā kyā hai

agar dawat ho khane ki to is mein sochna kya hai

nahin gar ye KHuda ki den to is ke siwa kya hai

jo ghar mein dal roTi roz hi khae bila-nagha

wahi jaanega biryani matanjan mein maza kya hai

mera ye mashwara tu man le hoga bhala tera

kabhi ye bhul kar mat dekh dastar pe rakha kya hai

muqaddar mein jo likha hai tere kha le use DaT kar

takalluf to sarasar ek aziyyat ke siwa kya hai

samajh le nam tera hi likha hai dane dane par

kabhi mat soch meade ke liye achchha bura kya hai

tu hifz-e-ma-taqaddum aur itminan ki KHatir

pakaD kar mezban ko puchh le aaKHir paka kya hai

kabhi tu ne paDha bhi hai mere kapDe ke dastar par

jali harfon ki jo tahrir hai us mein likha kya hai

shikam ko kar wasia itna ki har pakwan se pahle

tujhe KHud mezban puchhe bata teri ghiza kya hai

mujhe khane ke fauran baad hi phir bhuk lagti hai

koi to ye batae 'KHwah-maKHwah' mujh ko hua kya hai
