markaz-e-ilm-o-hunar mai-kada-e-soz-o-sāz

sajda-e-shauq se ābād hai rindoñ kā haram

jām-dar-jām hai sahbā-e-junūn-e-hikmat

dekhnā ho to koī dekh le saaqī kā karam

mai-gusārī kā ye andāz na dekhā ham ne

sab ke dukh dard kā ehsās nashe kā aalam

ek hī aag se har ruuh jilā paatī hai

ho ga.e ek hī sho.ale meñ sharāre mudġham

apne har daur kī tahrīk kā ā.īna liye

phir uThātā hai aligaḌh na.ī duniyā meñ qadam

raah dushvār meñ ik kāfila-e-nik.hat-o-nūr

sañg-e-ḳhārā kī chaTānoñ ke muqābil hai khaḌā

TuuT jā.egā bahut jald tilism-e-imroz

nūr-e-fardā ke tabassum meñ badal jā.egā

markaz-e-ilm-o-hunar mai-kada-e-soz-o-saz

sajda-e-shauq se aabaad hai rindon ka haram

jam-dar-jam hai sahba-e-junun-e-hikmat

dekhna ho to koi dekh le saqi ka karam

mai-gusari ka ye andaz na dekha hum ne

sab ke dukh dard ka ehsas nashe ka aalam

ek hi aag se har ruh jila pati hai

ho gae ek hi shoale mein sharare mudgham

apne har daur ki tahrik ka aaina liye

phir uThata hai aligaDh nai duniya mein qadam

rah dushwar mein ek kafila-e-nikhat-o-nur

sang-e-KHara ki chaTanon ke muqabil hai khaDa

TuT jaega bahut jald tilism-e-imroz

nur-e-farda ke tabassum mein badal jaega
