lafz masna se ye jo miyan hai bani
do ke mani ko zahir kare masnawi

khub arabi mein aur farsi mein chali
aa ke urdu mein bhi khub phuli-phali

mauzun pai gai dastan ke liye
ye munasib hai nazm-e-rawan ke liye

sidhi sadi hai jo masnawi ki zaban
hai 'hasan' mir ki khub sehrul-bayan

is mein tahzib ka aks dekho miyan
milta hai ja-ba-ja ek samaji bayan

shaikh 'rumi' jo guzre hain ek maulwi
un ki duniya mein mashhur hai masnawi

masnawi ke bhi makhsus auzan hain
jo ghazal ki tarah bachcho aasan hain

'hafiz' is ki faza ko banate raho
bachchon ko masnawi tum padhate raho
