ajab shā.er kī aadat hai ki jab biiḌī jalāne ko

kisī se māñgī māchis to jalā kar jeb meñ rakh lī

ajab shaer ki aadat hai ki jab biDi jalane ko

kisi se mangi machis to jala kar jeb mein rakh li

zarūrat bhūkī jantā ko faqat ration kī hai lekin

diyā karte haiñ bhāshan hī sar-e-bāzār murġhī ke

zarurat bhuki janta ko faqat ration ki hai lekin

diya karte hain bhashan hi sar-e-bazar murghi ke

begam haiñ ki dozaḳh kā lahaktā huā sho.ala

jab sāmnā hotā hai mujhe pyaas lage hai

begam hain ki dozaKH ka lahakta hua shoala

jab samna hota hai mujhe pyas lage hai

ġharībī kyā miTā.eñge ġharīboñ ko miTā deñge

kiyā karte haiñ kaale dhan kā ḳhud byopār murġhī ke

gharibi kya miTaenge gharibon ko miTa denge

kiya karte hain kale dhan ka KHud byopar murghi ke

aa.e haiñ bāda-ḳhāne meñ kuchh maulvī bhī aaj

vo bhī uThā.eñ jaam abhī zer-e-ġhaur hai

aae hain baada-KHane mein kuchh maulwi bhi aaj

wo bhi uThaen jam abhi zer-e-ghaur hai
