6 Urdu ash'ar / shaayari (shers, couplets) containing the word:
masjid: mosque

bahut masjid mein sar maara
bahut sa DhoonDa butkhana
nowhere did i see such splendor
as i have in the confines of my heart
though i kocked my head in mosques
and searched endlessly in the temples

janaab-e-shaikh ka naqsh-e-qadam
yuun bhi hai aur yuun bhi
here the mosque, there the tavern
how odd indeed
the footprints of the holy man
are seen here and there too

kisi rote hue bachche ko
hansaaya jaaye
the mosque is too far from home
maybe we should try this...
why not make
a few crying children smile?

sukoon is baat ka tha
na mandir ka zikr tha, na masjid ka

in the neighborhood, not sure about what

neither the mention of temple nor mosque
