madrasa ali-gaDh

ḳhudā alī-gaḌh ke madrase ko tamām amrāz se shifā de

bhare hue haiñ raīs-zāde amīr-zāde sharīf-zāde

latīf o ḳhush-vaz.a chust o chālāk o saaf o pākīza shād-o-ḳhurram

tabī.atoñ meñ hai in kī jaudat diloñ meñ in ke haiñ nek irāde

kamāl-e-mehnat se paḌh rahe haiñ kamāl-e-ġhairat se paḌh rahe haiñ

savār mashriq raah meñ haiñ to maġhribī raah meñ piyāde

har ik hai in meñ kā be-shak aisā ki aap use chāhte haiñ jaisā

dikhāve mahfil meñ qadd-e-ra.anā jo aap aa.eñ to sar jhukā de

faqīr māñge to saaf kah deñ ki tū hai mazbūt jā kamā khā

qubūl farmā.eñ aap dāvat to apnā sarmāya kul khilā de

butoñ se in ko nahīñ lagāvaT misoñ kī lete nahīñ vo aahaT

tamām quvvat hai sarf-e-ḳhvāndan nazar ke bhole haiñ dil ke saade

nazar bhī aa.e jo zulf-e-pechāñ to samjheñ ye koī policy hai

electric light us ko samjheñ jo barq-vash koī kuude

nikalte haiñ kar ke ġhol-bandī ba-nām-e-tahzīb o dard-mandī

ye kah ke lete haiñ sab se chande jo tum hameñ do tumheñ ḳhudā de

unheñ isī baat par yaqīñ hai ki bas yahī asl kār-e-dīñ hai

isī se hogā faroġh-e-qaumī isī se chamkeñge baap daade

makān-e-college ke sab makīñ haiñ abhī unheñ tajrabe nahīñ haiñ

ḳhabar nahīñ hai ki aage chal kar hai kaisī manzil haiñ kaise jaade

diloñ meñ in ke haiñ nūr-e-īmāñ qavī nahīñ hai magar nigahbāñ

havā-e-mantiq adā-e-tiflī ye sham.a aisā na ho bujhā de

fareb de kar nikāle matlab sikhā.e tahqīr-e-dīn-o-mazhab

miTā de āḳhir ko dīn-o-maz.hab numūd-e-zātī ko go baḌhā de

yahī bas 'akbar' kī iltijā hai janāb baarī meñ ye duā hai

uluum o hikmat kā dars in ko professor deñ samajh ḳhudā de

KHuda ali-gaDh ke madrase ko tamam amraaz se shifa de

bhare hue hain rais-zade amir-zade sharif-zade

latif o KHush-waza chust o chaalak o saf o pakiza shad-o-KHurram

tabiaton mein hai in ki jaudat dilon mein in ke hain nek irade

kamal-e-mehnat se paDh rahe hain kamal-e-ghairat se paDh rahe hain

sawar mashriq rah mein hain to maghribi rah mein piyaade

har ek hai in mein ka be-shak aisa ki aap use chahte hain jaisa

dikhawe mahfil mein qadd-e-rana jo aap aaen to sar jhuka de

faqir mange to saf kah den ki tu hai mazbut ja kama kha

qubul farmaen aap dawat to apna sarmaya kul khila de

buton se in ko nahin lagawaT mison ki lete nahin wo aahaT

tamam quwwat hai sarf-e-KHwandan nazar ke bhole hain dil ke sade

nazar bhi aae jo zulf-e-pechan to samjhen ye koi policy hai

electric light us ko samjhen jo barq-wash koi kude

nikalte hain kar ke ghol-bandi ba-nam-e-tahzib o dard-mandi

ye kah ke lete hain sab se chande jo tum hamein do tumhein KHuda de

unhen isi baat par yaqin hai ki bas yahi asl kar-e-din hai

isi se hoga farogh-e-qaumi isi se chamkenge bap dade

makan-e-college ke sab makin hain abhi unhen tajrabe nahin hain

KHabar nahin hai ki aage chal kar hai kaisi manzil hain kaise jade

dilon mein in ke hain nur-e-iman qawi nahin hai magar nigahban

hawa-e-mantiq ada-e-tifli ye shama aisa na ho bujha de

fareb de kar nikale matlab sikhae tahqir-e-din-o-mazhab

miTa de aaKHir ko din-o-mazhab numud-e-zati ko go baDha de

yahi bas 'akbar' ki iltija hai janab bari mein ye dua hai

ulum o hikmat ka dars in ko professor den samajh KHuda de
