tum mile to hui ajiib si baat
dost karne lage raqib si baat
niind aae to maḳhmali ehsas
varna bistar men hai salib si baat
falsafa zindagi ka mat puchho
main kahunga baḌi ajiib si baat
tum yahan dost se muḳhatab ho
mat karo shair-o-adib si baat
puchh mat un ke samne ‘badal’
mere dil men hai kya ajiib si baat
