Hindu Writers of Urdu Literature

It is an admitted fact that the more a nation is interested in the literature and arts of another nation, the greater is the friendship and affection for that nation. As long as the Arabs were ignorant of languages other than their own, they fought shy of even the mention of the names of other nations, but with the advent of Islam, they studied foreign languages and acquired a knowledge of the arts and sciences of other peoples, with the result that they stood forth as examples of enlightenment, free from prejudice and full of toleration.

آمد آمد مسلم سلیم: منظوم تاثرات

احمد علی برقی اعظمی

آمد آمد میں نہیں ہےآورد

طبع زاد اس کے سبھی ہیں اشعار

اس کے اشعار میں ہے ذوقِ سلیم

روح ہو جاتی ہے جن سے سرشار

اپنے رشحاتِ قلم سے سب کو

کرتے رہتے ہیں ہمیشہ بیدار

روحِ عصر اس سے عیاں ہے برقی

عصرِ حاضر کے ہیں مسلم فنکار
