Interesting Fact
(Written against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistani war and aired on Tashkent's anniversary)

bam gharoñ par gireñ ki sarhad par
rūh-e-ta.amīr zaḳhm khātī hai

ziist fāqoñ se tilmilātī hai
tank aage baḌheñ ki pichhe haTeñ
kokh dhartī kī bāñjh hotī hai
fat.h kā jashn ho ki haar kā sog
zindagī mayyatoñ pe rotī hai
jang to ḳhud hī ek mas.ala hai
jang kyā mas.aloñ kā hal degī
aag aur ḳhuun aaj baḳhshegī
bhuuk aur ehtiyāj kal degī

jang Taltī rahe to behtar hai
aap aur ham sabhī ke āñgan meñ
sham' jaltī rahe to behtar hai
