Poet Name: Akbar Allahabadi

ilm o hikmat men ho agar khvahish-e-feme sarkar ki naukri ko hargiz na kar aim shadi na kar apni qabl-e-tahsil-e-ulum

har ek se suna naya fasana ham ne dekha duniya men ek zamana ham ne avval ye tha ki vaqfiyat

har ek ko naukri nahin milne ki har baagh men ye kali nahin khilne ki kuchh padh ke tu sanat-o-zaraat

ghaflat ki hansi se aah bharna achchha afaal-e-muzir se kuchh na karna achchha ‘akbar’ ne suna hai ahl-e-ghairat se yahi

eazaz-e-salaf ke mitte jaate hain nishan agle se khayalat hind men ab vo kahan sayyad banna ho to bano sir-sayyad

duniya se mel ki zarurat hi nahin mujh ko is khel ki zarurat hi nahin darpesh hai manzil-e-adam ai ‘akbar’

bhulta jaata hai europe asmani baap ko bas khuda samjha hai us ne barq ko aur bhaap ko barq gir
