ممبري امپيريل کونسل کي کچھ مشکل نہيں
ممبري امپيريل کونسل کي کچھ مشکل نہيںووٹ تو مل جائيں گے ، پيسے بھي دلوائيں گے کيا؟
ميرزا غالب خدا بخشے ، بجا فرما گئے''ہم نے يہ ماناکہ دلي ميں رہيں، کھائيں گے کيا؟''
Membership of the Imperial council is not at all difficult; votes will be available. Will we be paid money also? May God bless Mirza Ghalib, who has rightly said ‘We are prepared to live in Delhi, how shall we subsist?’
