harf harf raT kar bhii aagahii nahiiN miltii
aag naam rakhne se roshnii nahiiN miltii

(harf : letter; aagahii gnosis)

sochne samajhne ko faasilaa hii behtar hai
raat din kii qurbat se dostii nahiiN miltii

(faasilaa : distance; qurbat : intimacy)

miiThii miiThii baatoN meN sirf sach nahiiN hotaa
maslehat-pasandoN meN sar-kashii nahiiN miltii

(sach : truth; maslehat-pasand : rational, pragmatic people; sar-kashii : tyranny)

aadmii se insaaN tak aa gaye to samjhoge
kyuuN chiraaGh ke niiche roshnii nahiiN miltii

(chiraaGh : lamp)

be-libaas hone se bach gayaa to kyaa “Manzar”
aaj gaaNv meN kal kii saadgii nahiiN miltii

(be-libaas : without clothes; gaaNv : village)
