Political Leaders
Ye Khakbaz Hain, Rakhte Hain Khak Se Pewand
On political leaders what hopes can we fix?
They are wedded to dust, in the dust play their tricks,
Jahan Mein Hai Sift-e-Ankuboot Un Ki Kumand
Their gaze always fastened on maggots and flies,
A web like the spider’s their ladder to rise.
Takhiyyul-e-Malkooti-o-Jazba Haye Buland
That caravan’s happy whose chief is endowed
With thoughts light as angels’, and temper as proud.
