gang-o-jaman ki KHushbu

subh-dam aati hai ai hind tere aanchal se
hamd ki nat ki puja ki bhajan ki khushbu
dhadkanon ne yahan chhedi hai mohabbat ki ghazal
hai fazaon mein ukhuwwat ke saman ki khushbu


tere daman mein ajanta-o-hasin-taj-mahal
tere kheton mein hai dahqan ke jatan ki khushbu
tere jharnon se ubharte hain tarane dilkash
ruh sarshaar kare dasht-o-daman ki khushbu


'mir'-o-'ghaalib' hon ki 'iqbaal' ya 'chakbast'-o-'firaq'
teri mitti mein basi in ke sukhan ki khushbu
rang ki nasl ki tahzib ki hai qaus-e-quzah
hai kahan dahr mein ye gang-o-jaman ki khushbu


mujh ko ghurbat mein bhi ehsas-e-watan hota hai
jab bhi lati hai saba mere watan ki khushbu
teri mitti pe tasadduq hain dil-o-jaan sabhi
bhul sakte nahin hum tere manan ki khushbu


tere honton pe tabassum ki dhanak khulti rahe
sada aabaad rahe tere chaman ki khushbu
