logon ne hum ko shahr ka qazi bana diya

logoñ ne ham ko shahr kā qaazī banā diyā

is hādse ne ham ko namāzī banā diyā

tum ko kahā jo chāñd to tum duur ho ga.e

tashbīh ko bhī tum ne majāzī banā diyā

ek aur din kī shaam kisī tarh ho ga.ī

kuchh de-dilā ke haal ko maazī banā diyā

buġhz-e-muāviya meñ sabhī ek ho ga.e

is ittihād ne mujhe naazī banā diyā

ḳhālī alāmatoñ se ma.ānī nikāl kar

tanqīd ko bhī sho.abda-bāzī banā diyā

logon ne hum ko shahr ka qazi bana diya

is hadse ne hum ko namazi bana diya

tum ko kaha jo chand to tum dur ho gae

tashbih ko bhi tum ne majazi bana diya

ek aur din ki sham kisi tarh ho gai

kuchh de-dila ke haal ko mazi bana diya

bughz-e-muawiya mein sabhi ek ho gae

is ittihad ne mujhe nazi bana diya

KHali alamaton se maani nikal kar

tanqid ko bhi shoabda-bazi bana diya
