کارل مارکس کی آواز
۱
یہ علم و حکمت کی مہرہ بازی، یہ بحث و تکرار کی نمائش
نہیں ہے دُنیا کو اب گوارا، پرانے افکار کی نمائش
۲
تری کتابوں میں اے، حکیمِ معاش، رکھا ہی کیا ہے آخر
خطوطِ خمدار کی نمائش، مریز و کجدار کی نمائش
۳
جہانِ مغرب کے بتکدوں میں، کلیساؤں میں، مدرسوں میں
ہوس کی خونریزیاں چھپاتی، ہے عقلِ عیّار کی نمائش
कार्ल मार्क्स कि आवाज़
१
ये इल्म ओ हिकमत कि मोहरा बाज़ी, ये बहस ओ तक्रार कि नुमाएश
नहीं है दुनिया को अब गवारा, पुराने अफ़्कार कि नुमाएश
२
तेरी किताबौं में अए हकीम-ए माश रक्खा ही क्या है आख़िर
ख़ुतूत-ए ख़मदार कि नुमाएश, मरेज़ ओ कजदार कि नुमाएश
३
जहान-ए मग़्रिब के बुत-कदौं में, कलीसाओं में मदरसों में
हवस कि ख़ूंरेज़ियाँ छुपाती है अक़्ल-ए अय्यार कि नुमाएश
