Interesting Fact
Matla (the first sher) refers to Shah Wilayat's shrine at Amroha. It is said that scorpions within the shrine premises never sting even if someone accidentally steps on. Noted poet Jaun Eliya spent his childhood here.
shaam huī hai yaar aa.e haiñ yāroñ ke hamrāh chaleñ
aaj vahāñ qavvālī hogī 'jaun' chalo dargāh chaleñ
apnī galiyāñ apne ramne apne jañgal apnī havā
chalte chalte vajd meñ aa.eñ rāhoñ meñ be-rāh chaleñ
jaane bastī meñ jañgal ho yā jañgal meñ bastī ho
hai kaisī kuchh nā-āgāhī aao chalo nāgāh chaleñ
kuuch apnā us shahr taraf hai naamī ham jis shahr ke haiñ
kapḌe phāḌeñ ḳhāk-ba-sar hoñ aur ba-izz-o-jāh chaleñ
raah meñ us kī chalnā hai to aish karā deñ qadmoñ ko
chalte jaa.eñ chalte jaa.eñ ya.anī ḳhātir-ḳhvāh chaleñ

aaj wahan qawwali hogi 'jaun' chalo dargah chalen
apni galiyan apne ramne apne jangal apni hawa
chalte chalte wajd mein aaen rahon mein be-rah chalen
jaane basti mein jangal ho ya jangal mein basti ho
hai kaisi kuchh na-agahi aao chalo nagah chalen
kuch apna us shahr taraf hai nami hum jis shahr ke hain
kapDe phaDen KHak-ba-sar hon aur ba-izz-o-jah chalen
rah mein us ki chalna hai to aish kara den qadmon ko
chalte jaen chalte jaen yani KHatir-KHwah chalen
