be-parda nazar aain jo kal chand bibayan

fazl-e-KHuda se izzat pai

hamari baaten hi baaten hain sayyad kaam karta hai

ek barg-e-muzmahil ne ye speech mein kaha

maine kaha kyun lash pe aaqa ki hai marta

ishrati ghar ki mohabbat ka maza bhul gae

uljha hua hai chanda-o-school mein har ek

council mein nukta-chinon ki Toli bahut piTi

jis raushni mein luT hi ki aapko sujhe

jo log taraf-dar aligarh ke rahenge

nai tahzib mein bhi mazhabi talim shamil hai

tajjub se kahne lage babu sahab

wah re sayyad-e-pakiza-guhar kya kahna

chhoD literature ko apni history ko bhul ja

qadim waza pe qaem rahun agar akbar
