rekhta jis ka bada nam hai kya arz karun
ye hamare liye inam hai kya arz karun

fal nek is ka hai urdu ke liye apna wajud
jis ka faizan-e-nazar aam hai kya arz karun

aap khud dekh len kahne pe na jaen mere
wo bhi is mein hai jo gumnam hai kya arz karun

mera majmua-e-ashaar hai is ki zinat
baada-e-shauq ka ye jam hai kya arz karun

apni miras-e-adab karte hain kaise mahfuz
is ka sab ke liye paigham hai kya arz karun

kisi muslim ko na di is ki khuda ne taufiq
aap bhi dekh len kya kaam hai kya arz karun

ye kutub-khana-e-maruf adab ka 'barqi'
aisi ek jalwa-gah-e-am hai kya arz karun
