jānkārī khel lafzoñ kā zabāñ kā shor hai

jo bahut kam jāntā hai vo yahāñ shah-zor hai

jaankari khel lafzon ka zaban ka shor hai

jo bahut kam jaanta hai wo yahan shah-zor hai

lafzoñ kī dastaras meñ mukammal nahīñ huuñ maiñ

likkhī huī kitāb ke bāhar bhī sun mujhe

lafzon ki dastaras mein mukammal nahin hun main

likkhi hui kitab ke bahar bhi sun mujhe

bahut chhoTā safar thā zindagī kā

maiñ apne ghar ke andar tak na pahuñchā

bahut chhoTa safar tha zindagi ka

main apne ghar ke andar tak na pahuncha

phuul bāhar hai ki andar hai mire siine meñ

chāñd raushan hai ki maiñ aap hī tābinda huuñ

phul bahar hai ki andar hai mere sine mein

chand raushan hai ki main aap hi tabinda hun

ek bachcha zehn se paisa kamāne kī machine

dūsrā kamzor thā so yarġhamālī ho gayā

ek bachcha zehn se paisa kamane ki machine

dusra kamzor tha so yarghamali ho gaya
