meri paidaish par
qarz-KHwahon ne jashn manaya
mujhe
pi l 480 ke dana-e-gandum se baptisma diya gaya
aur
imdad mein milne wale KHushk dudh se meri parwarish ki gai
mujhe
polio ki jali qatre pilae gae
aur
kandhe par jaan-nashini ki chadar Dal kar
mujhe
buDhe waldain aur chhoTe bahan bhaiyon ka kafil muqarrar kiya gaya
ab
main world bank ka mahbub
aur
aai m ef ka shahzada hun
asian Dewelopment bank
meri dastar-bandi ke liye betab hai
u s aiD wale
mujhe apna rozi-rasan samajhte hain
main maqruz paida hua tha
aur maqruz hi marunga
meri duty
ab faqat chhe sat maqruz paida karna
taki
is sarif maashre mein apna tashaKHKHus barqarar rakh sakun
mujhe
an-paDh hone ki sanad-e-imtiyaz ata ki gai
taki main
apne huquq ki yaad-dasht tahrir na kar sakun
mujhe
intiKHabaat ke din chhuTTi bhi na di gai
taki
main
apna wote apni taqdir ke haq mein na Dal sakun

Bad-hali ki KHud-nawisht
