बहुत कुछ पांव फैलाकर भी देखा ‘शाद’ दुनिया में

बहुत कुछ पांव फैलाकर भी देखा ‘शाद’ दुनिया में,
मगर आख़िर जगह हमने न दो गज़ के सिवा पायी।

Bahut kuchh paa.nv phailaakar bhee dekhaa 'Shaad' duniyaa me.n
magar aaKhir jagah hamne na do gaz ke sivaa paayee

I worked very hard  so that my empire in this world could expand
But eventually I found my existence was limited to two yards of land


‘शाद’ अज़ीमाबादी
