thaa qafas kaa khayaal daaman-gir — Wahshat Raza Ali Kalkatvi

kis tarah husn-e-zabaan ki ho taraqqi 'vahshat'
main agar khidmat-e-urdu-e-muallaa na karun

abhi hote agar duniyaa mein 'daagh'-e-dehlavi zinda
to vo sab ko bataa dete hai 'vahshat' ki zabaan kaisi

qadrdaani ki kaifiyat maalum
aib kyaa hai agar hunar na huaa

dil ko ham kab tak bachaae rakhte har aaseb se
Thes aakhir lag gai shishe mein baal aa hi gayaa

donon ne baDhaai raunaq-e-husn
shokhi ne kabhi kabhi hayaa ne

zaalim ki to aadat hai sataataa hi rahegaa
apni bhi tabiat hai bahalti hi rahegi
