ut-kade mein shor hai 'akbar' musalman ho gaya
be-wafaon se koi kah de ki han han ho gaya
Akbar Allahabadi
uton ke pahle bande the mison ke ab hue KHadim
hamein har ahd mein mushkil raha hai ba-KHuda hona
Akbar Allahabadi
uDhon ke sath log kahan tak wafa karen
buDhon ko bhi jo maut na aae to kya karen
Akbar Allahabadi
coat aur patlun jab pahna to mister ban gaya
jab koi taqrir ki jalse mein leader ban gaya
donning fancy clothes beame a gentlean avowed
and turned into a leader on speaking to a crowd,
Akbar Allahabadi
college se aa rahi hai sada pas pas ki
ohdon se aa rahi hai sada dur dur ki
Akbar Allahabadi
dawa bahut baDa hai riyazi mein aap ko
tul-e-shab-e-firaq ko to nap dijiye
Akbar Allahabadi
Dal de jaan maani mein wo urdu ye hai
karwaTen lene lage taba wo pahlu ye hai
Akbar Allahabadi
dam labon par tha dil-e-zar ke ghabrane se
aa gai jaan mein jaan aap ke aa jaane se
Akbar Allahabadi
dhamka ke bose lunga ruKH-e-rashk-e-mah ka
chanda wasul hota hai sahab dabaw se
Akbar Allahabadi
