inkar hi kar dijiye iqrar nahin to
inkār hī kar dījiye iqrār nahīñ to
uljhan hī meñ mar jā.egā bīmār nahīñ to
lagtā hai ki piñjre meñ huuñ duniyā meñ nahīñ huuñ
do roz se dekhā koī aḳhbār nahīñ to
duniyā hameñ nābūd hī kar Dālegī ik din
ham hoñge agar ab bhī ḳhabar-dār nahīñ to
kuchh to rahe aslāf kī tahzīb kī ḳhushbū
Topī hī lagā lījiye dastār nahīñ to
ham barsar-e-paikār sitamgar se hamesha
rakhte haiñ qalam haath meñ talvār nahīñ to
bhaa.ī ko hai bhaa.ī pe bharosa to bhalā hai
āñgan meñ bhī uTh jā.egī dīvār nahīñ to
be-sūd har ik qaul har ik she’r hai 'rāġhib'
gar us ke muāfiq tirā kirdār nahīñ to
inkar hi kar dijiye iqrar nahin to
uljhan hi mein mar jaega bimar nahin to
lagta hai ki pinjre mein hun duniya mein nahin hun
do roz se dekha koi aKHbar nahin to
duniya hamein nabud hi kar Dalegi ek din
hum honge agar ab bhi KHabar-dar nahin to
kuchh to rahe aslaf ki tahzib ki KHushbu
Topi hi laga lijiye dastar nahin to
hum barsar-e-paikar sitamgar se hamesha
rakhte hain qalam hath mein talwar nahin to
bhai ko hai bhai pe bharosa to bhala hai
aangan mein bhi uTh jaegi diwar nahin to
be-sud har ek qaul har ek she’r hai 'raghib'
gar us ke muafiq tera kirdar nahin to
