ek gudiya kee kaee kathaputaliyon mein jaan hai
aaj shaayar yah tamaasha dekhakar hairaan hai
khaas sadaken band hain tab se marammat ke lie
yah hamaare vaqt kee sabase sahee pahachaan hai
ek boodha aadamee hai mulq mein ya yon kaho
is andheree kotharee mein ek raushanadaan hai
maslahat-aamez hote hain siyaasat ke qadam
too na samajhega siyaasat, too abhee naadaan hai
is qadar paabandee-e-mazahab ki sadaqe aapake
jab se aazaadee milee hai mulq mein ramazaan hai
kal numaish mein mila vo cheethade pahane hue
mainne poochha naam to bola ki hindustaan hai
mujhamen rahate hain karodon log chup kaise rahoon
har gazal ab saltanat ke naam ek bayaan hai
