gandhi-ji ki yaad mein!

wahi hai shor-e-hae-o-hu
wahi hujum-e-mard-o-zan
magar wo husn-e-zindagi
magar wo jannat-e-watan


wahi zamin
wahin zaman
wahi makin
wahi makan


magar surur-e-yak-dili
magar nashat-e-anjuman
wahi hai shauq-e-nau-ba-nau
wahi jamal-e-rang-rang


magar wo ismat-e-nazar
tahaarat-e-lab-o-dahan
taraqqiyon pe garche hain
tamaddun-o-muashrat


magar wo husn-e-sadgi
wo sadgi ka bankpan
sharab-e-nau ki mastiyan
ki al-hafiz-o-al-aman


magar wo ek latif sa surur-e-baada-e-kuhan
ye naghma-e-hayat hai ki hai ajal tarana-sanj
ye daur-e-kaenat hai ki raqs mein hai ahrman
hazar-dar-hazar hain agarche rahbaran-e-mulk


magar wo pir-e-naujawan
wo ek mard-e-saf-shikan
wahi mahatma wahi shahid-e-amn-o-ashti
prem jis ki zindagi


khulus jis ka pairahan
wahi sitare hain
magar kahan wo mahtab-e-hind
wahi hai anjuman


magar kahan wo sadr-e-anjuman
