jo aam sa ek sawal puchha to kya kahenge

jo aam sā ik savāl pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

kisī ne ham se bhī haal pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

jo sar ke bal ḳhaak meñ gaḌe haiñ kisī ne un se

bulandiyoñ kā ma.aal pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

zamāne-bhar ko to ham ne ḳhāmosh kar diyā hai

jo dil ne bhī ik savāl pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

jinheñ hamāre lahū kī lat hai kisī ne un se

ḳhumār-e-rizq-e-halāl pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

jise ġhazal meñ barat ke ham daad pā chuke haiñ

kisī ne us dukh kā haal pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

agar ham us kī ḳhushī meñ ḳhush haiñ to dostoñ ne

javāz-e-hizn-o-malāl pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

ye ham jo auroñ ke dukh kā Thekā liye hue haiñ

kisī ne is kā ma.aal pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

jo apnī jāneñ bachā ke ḳhush haiñ 'kabīr' un se

kisī ne bastī kā haal pūchhā to kyā kaheñge

jo aam sa ek sawal puchha to kya kahenge

kisi ne hum se bhi haal puchha to kya kahenge

jo sar ke bal KHak mein gaDe hain kisi ne un se

bulandiyon ka maal puchha to kya kahenge

zamane-bhar ko to hum ne KHamosh kar diya hai

jo dil ne bhi ek sawal puchha to kya kahenge

jinhen hamare lahu ki lat hai kisi ne un se

KHumar-e-rizq-e-halal puchha to kya kahenge

jise ghazal mein barat ke hum dad pa chuke hain

kisi ne us dukh ka haal puchha to kya kahenge

agar hum us ki KHushi mein KHush hain to doston ne

jawaz-e-hizn-o-malal puchha to kya kahenge

ye hum jo auron ke dukh ka Theka liye hue hain

kisi ne is ka maal puchha to kya kahenge

jo apni jaanen bacha ke KHush hain 'kabir' un se

kisi ne basti ka haal puchha to kya kahenge
