Quotes Ye tune Hind ki hurmat ke aaine ko toda haiKhabar bhi hai tujhe Masjid ka gumbad todne waleHumare dil ko toda hai imaarat ko nahi todaKhabaasat ki bhi had hoti hai had todne wale What you have broken is the image of reverence of IndiaDo you have this idea, you who have broken the dome of the mosqueNot the building but our hearts have been brokenYour wickedness is limitless Quoted in "Two Urdu Poems Reflect How Babri Masjid Demolition Was an Attack on India as a Whole", The Wire, 6 December, 2017. Ye Masjid aaj bhi zinda hai ahl-e-dil ke siino meKhabar bhi tujhe hai Masjid ka paikar todne waleAbhi ye sar-zameen khali nahi hai nek bando seAbhi maujud hain tuute hue dil jodne wale This mosque is still intact in the heartsDo you have this idea, destroyer of the structure of mosqueThis country is not yet empty of good peoplePeople who heals the wounds of heart, still reside here Quoted in "Two Urdu Poems Reflect How Babri Masjid Demolition Was an Attack on India as a Whole", The Wire, 6 December, 2017.
