NAZR E MUSLIM MUSLIM SALEEM
AHMAD ALI BARQI AZMI

MUHSIN E URDU ZUBAAN MUSLIM SALEEM

JIS SE HAI UN KA AYAN ZAUQ-E-SALEEM
HAI YEH URDU KE LIYE EK FAAL-E-NEK
UN KI HAI DIRECTORY KAAR-E-AZEEM
HAI ADEBON KA YEH NADIR TAZKERA
JO ADAB KI HAI SIRAT-E-MUSTAQEEM
HO GAYA DIL DEKH KAR YEH BAAGH BAAGH
CHALTI HO JAISE YAHAN MAUJ-E-NASEEM
