bartarī apnī kyā jatātā hai
ye kamā.ī to tū bhī khātā hai
itnā kahnā dalīl hai goyā
aur tū bhī asiil hai goyā
do sharīfoñ kī sun ke ye takrār
maiñ khaḌā rah gayā sar-e-bāzār
aur hairat meñ aisā ġharq huā
kal-adam ek ek farq huā
nāzish-o-asl-o-rañg ke afsūñ
ġhairat-e-nām-o-nañg ke afsūñ
maiñ yahāñ bhī sabhī qarīnoñ meñ
ek sī dhaḌkaneñ haiñ sīnoñ meñ
kasb-e-majbūr par bhī ye ehsās
izzat-e-nafs aur vaz.a kā paas
aisā bātil tilism-e-rañg huā
munhadim qasr-e-nām-o-nañg huā
is tarah miT ga.iiñ mirī aqdār
qahqaha ban ga.e dar-o-dīvār
ḳhāndānī shanāḳhteñ mat pūchh
izzateñ aur sharāfateñ mat pūchho
bartari apni kya jatata hai
ye kamai to tu bhi khata hai
itna kahna dalil hai goya
aur tu bhi asil hai goya
do sharifon ki sun ke ye takrar
main khaDa rah gaya sar-e-bazar
aur hairat mein aisa gharq hua
kal-adam ek ek farq hua
nazish-o-asl-o-rang ke afsun
ghairat-e-nam-o-nang ke afsun
main yahan bhi sabhi qarinon mein
ek si dhaDkanen hain sinon mein
kasb-e-majbur par bhi ye ehsas
izzat-e-nafs aur waza ka pas
aisa baatil tilism-e-rang hua
munhadim qasr-e-nam-o-nang hua
is tarah miT gain meri aqdar
qahqaha ban gae dar-o-diwar
KHandani shanaKHten mat puchh
izzaten aur sharafaten mat puchho
