Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
hai hirs-o-hawas ke fan ki mujhko takmil
hai saf ayan haram-sara ka matlab
hamdard hun sab ye lutf-e-abaadi hai
rozi mil jae mal-o-daulat na sahi
behtar hai yahi ki ab aligarh chaliye
ghaflat ki hansi se aah bharna achchha
lafzon ke chaman bhi isMein khil jate hain
kya tum se kahen jahan ko kaisa paya
ye baat ghalat ki dar-ul-islam hai hind
hasid tujh par agar hasad karta hai
daulat bhi hai falsafa bhi hai jah bhi hai
dil-kash nahin wo hasin jise sharm nahin
dar par mazlum ek paDa rota hai
rakkho jo muqabil uske sara aalam
wo lutf ab hindu musalman mein kahan
