suna hai id aai thi
suna hai meri mitti ko watan laya gaya us din

suna hai mere aaza ne adakari bahut achchhi tarah ki thi
nazar ne chand bhi dekha

zaban ne sari duniya ko mubarakbaadiyan bhi din
badan ne subh-dam uth kar nahaya bhi

nae kapde bhi pahne itr mal kar id-gah ja kar dogana bhi ada kar li
gale ne bhi gale milne ka ek dastur-e-derina bahut jam kar nibhaya tha

siwaiyan shir khane milne-julne id ki khushiyan manane ki sabhi rasmen ada ki thin
magar ye kaun pagal hai

meri mitti ke andar siskiyan bharta hua pagal
ajab hasrat se kahta hai ki id aai nahin ab tak
