‘Ghalib’ ke shabdon pe hum toh marte hain,
‘Mir’ ke ghazalon mein jeewan ye basar karte hain.

Dhoond lete hai khushiyan ‘Gulzar’ ke dum pe,
Apne raaton ko roshini e ‘Badar’ karte hain.

Kabhi har jaate hai dil apna ‘Amir Khusro’ par,
Phir bhi sabke liye rukhsar e ‘Zafar’ karte hain,

Dekh li kabhi dunia ‘Jigar’ ke chashme se,
Kabhi ‘Firaaq’ ko samajh ye nazar karte hain.

Hue hain aur sukhanwar bahut se dunia mein,
Jinke sajde mein hum apna sar karte hain.

Mere maula shukra hai tera tahe dil se,
Humne jana hai shabd kitna asar karte hain.
