munh kitabi tera bayazi naiin
vo javabi hai e’tirazi naiin
sarv har-chand hai ghulam tira
lekin azadgi ka raazi naiin
sahib-e-hal ko zamane men
fikr-e-mustaqbil aur maazi naiin
daad be-dad tujh sitam suun hai
bas-ki shahr-e-husn men qaazi naiin
‘mubtala’ baagh men hai shor-o-fughan
gul kuun bulbul ki kuchh taqazi naiin
