کچھ دن گزرے عالیؔ صاحب عالیؔ جی کہلاتے تھے

Kuch din guzre Aali saahab Aali ji kehlate theMehfil mehfil qarya qarya sher sunate jaate the

Qadr-e-sukhan hum kya jaanen haan rang-e-sukhan kuch aisa thaAcche acche kehne wale apne paas bithate the

Ghazalon mein sau rang mila kar apna rang ubhara thaUstaadon ke saaye mein kuch apni raah banate the

Geeton mein kuch aur na ho ik kaifiyat si rehti thiJab bhi misre raqsan hote ma'ani saaz bajaate the

Dohe kehne aur padhne ka aisa tarz nikala thaSunne wale sar dhunte the aur paharon padhwate the

Saamne baithi sundar nariyan aap talab ban jaati thinPardon mein se farmaish ke sau sau parche aate the

''Ghazlen Dohe Geet'' ki shohrat mulk se bahar phaili thiHindustan se aane wale tohfon mein le jaate the

Ahl-e-hunar ki khosha cheeni un ko wajah-e-sa'adat thiBe-hunaron mein apni ana ka parcham bhi lehrate the

Phir dekha ke bachcha bachcha hansta tha aur Aali jiFardain likhte maslein padhte baithe gullar chalate the
