bagh-e-urdu ki mahak raaz-e-khuda hoti hai
shahr-e-urdu mein hawa baad-e-saba hoti hai

achchha jitna bhi ho lahja wo sada hoti hai
baat kar le jo sukhan-gar to juda hoti hai

harf milte hain jo dil se to nida aati hai
ma'ni lafzon se milen to wo rida hoti hai

she'r padhne pe yunhi dad nahin milti unhen
urdu to shirin-dahan par hi fida hoti hai

sunne walon ko kisi aur nagar le jae
urdu walon ki zaban rab ki 'ata hoti hai

lahja mil jae jo urdu se to wo naz kare
urdu lahje se mile to wo ada hoti hai

khushbu urdu ki nazar aati hai dil walon mein
khanak urdu ki to boli mein sada hoti hai
