be-parda nazar aain jo kal chand bibayan

ek barg-e-muzmahil ne ye speech mein kaha

nai tahzib mein bhi mazhabi talim shamil hai

jis raushni mein luT hi ki aapko sujhe

chhoD literature ko apni history ko bhul ja

qadim waza pe qaem rahun agar akbar

ishrati ghar ki mohabbat ka maza bhul gae

dekhta hai ek umr se banda

fazl-e-KHuda se izzat pai

uljha hua hai chanda-o-school mein har ek

hamari baaten hi baaten hain sayyad kaam karta hai

maine kaha kyun lash pe aaqa ki hai marta

council mein nukta-chinon ki Toli bahut piTi

tajjub se kahne lage babu sahab

jo log taraf-dar aligarh ke rahenge
