ho ga.e nākām to pachhtā.eñ kyā
dostoñ ke sāmne sharmā.eñ kyā
ho rahe haiñ fail ham do saal se

jab kisī sūrat nahīñ is se mafar
imtihāñ ke naam se ghabrā.eñ kyā
yaad kar leñ aaj thoḌā sā sabaq

jab gurū jī ḳhud nahīñ samjhe savāl

ho gae nakaam to pachhtaen kya
doston ke samne sharmaen kya
ho rahe hain fail hum do sal se
ghar mein ja kar apna munh dikhlaen kya
jab kisi surat nahin is se mafar
imtihan ke nam se ghabraen kya
yaad kar len aaj thoDa sa sabaq
master sahab ke DanDe khaen kya
jab guru ji KHud nahin samjhe sawal
apne shagirdon ko wo samjhaen kya
paDh nahin sakte to shaitani karen
aa gae school mein to jaen kya
aao hum aapas mein kuchh jhagDa karen
khel se ab apna dil bahlaen kya
puchhte hain master hum kaun hain
koi batlao ki hum batlaen kya
jab kahin zauq-e-suKHan-fahmi nahin
'kaif' sahab ki ghazal hum gaen kya
