    Interesting Fact

    (This poem alludes towards that year's worst sectarian riots) (Written at the end of Gandhi shataabdi and Ghalib Sadi)

    'gāñdhī' ho 'ġhālib' ho

    ḳhatm huā donoñ jashn

    aao unheñ ab kar deñ dafn

    ḳhatm karo tahzīb baat

    band karo culture shor

    satya ahinsā sab bakvās

    ham bhī qātil tum bhī chor

    ḳhatm huā donoñ jashn

    aao unheñ ab kar deñ dafn

    vo bastī vo gaañv kyā

    jis meñ harījan ho āzād

    vo qasba vo shahr kyā

    jo na bane ahamadabād

    ḳhatm huā donoñ jashn

    aao unheñ ab kar deñ dafn

    'gāñdhī' ho 'ġhālib' ho

    donoñ kyā kaam yahāñ

    ab ke baras bhī qatl huī

    ek shikasta ik zabāñ

    ḳhatm huā donoñ jashn

    aao unheñ ab kar deñ dafn

    'gandhi' ho ya 'ghaalib' ho

    KHatm hua donon ka jashn

    aao unhen ab kar den dafn

    KHatm karo tahzib ki baat

    band karo culture ka shor

    satya ahinsa sab bakwas

    hum bhi qatil tum bhi chor

    KHatm hua donon ka jashn

    aao unhen ab kar den dafn

    wo basti wo ganw hi kya

    jis mein harijan ho aazad

    wo qasba wo shahr hi kya

    jo na bane ahamadabaad

    KHatm hua donon ka jashn

    aao unhen ab kar den dafn

    'gandhi' ho ya 'ghaalib' ho

    donon ka kya kaam yahan

    ab ke baras bhi qatl hui

    ek ki shikasta ek ki zaban

    KHatm hua donon ka jashn

    aao unhen ab kar den dafn
