wo mahir-e-zaban-o-bayan mahir-e-sukhan
ghaalib ke ham-nawa wo shanasa-e-ilm-o-fan

tasir thi zaban mein to guftar purkashish
ab bhi mujhe hai yaad wo lahje ka bankpan

aabid moallimi ko ibaadat samajhte the
tahqiq thi amama to tanqid pairahan

khud un hi ke jalae charaghon ke nur se
ilm-o-amal ki aaj bhi raushan hai anjuman
