na-jaane kis ki dua hai ki kaam chal raha hai
na-jāne kis kī du'ā hai ki kaam chal rahā hai
koī nizām nahīñ aur nizām chal rahā hai
rah-e-vafā meñ bichhe haiñ jafā ke angāre
jo chal rahā hai vo do-chār gaam chal rahā hai
ka.ī adīboñ ke nāmard ho chuke haiñ qalam
ka.ī baras se faqat un kā naam chal rahā hai
ḳhabar milī hai ki āqā-parast bastī meñ
kisī ke pīchhe kisī kā ġhulām chal rahā hai
jo khā chukā hai hamāre shakeb aur sarvat
suḳhan-kadoñ meñ vahī harf-e-ḳhām chal rahā hai
maiñ jāntā huuñ jo nā-shā’iroñ kī hai qīmat
maiñ jāntā huuñ jo in sab kā daam chal rahā hai
hai sabt muhr-e-sifārish hasīn jismoñ par
adab kī manDī meñ māl-e-harām chal rahā hai
tujhe ḳhabar nahīñ 'vāsif' badan ke sikke kī
ai mere dost ye sikka to 'aam chal rahā hai
na-jaane kis ki du'a hai ki kaam chal raha hai
koi nizam nahin aur nizam chal raha hai
rah-e-wafa mein bichhe hain jafa ke angare
jo chal raha hai wo do-chaar gam chal raha hai
kai adibon ke namard ho chuke hain qalam
kai baras se faqat un ka nam chal raha hai
KHabar mili hai ki aaqa-parast basti mein
kisi ke pichhe kisi ka ghulam chal raha hai
jo kha chuka hai hamare shakeb aur sarwat
suKHan-kadon mein wahi harf-e-KHam chal raha hai
main jaanta hun jo na-sha’iron ki hai qimat
main jaanta hun jo in sab ka dam chal raha hai
hai sabt muhr-e-sifarish hasin jismon par
adab ki manDi mein mal-e-haram chal raha hai
tujhe KHabar nahin 'wasif' badan ke sikke ki
ai mere dost ye sikka to 'am chal raha hai
