Jogi by Khushi Muhammad Naazir; Can anyone post?
deh...@yahoo.com
years have passed since I read it in a school textbook, and I still
remember quite a bit of it. If anyone can post the entire nazm, I
would really appreciate it. Zafar sahib, please take note.
I reproduce below some of the lines from memory. When, as a school
boy, I read the poem, I did not know the meanings or the correct
pronunciation of many of the words. That is still true, especially in
relation to the Hindi words in the poems, so please do point out my
mistakes.

kaash ham jaise log bhii aap awr Afzal Sahib jaisii yaad-daasht rakh

can't remember what I had for supper yesterday!!
"jogii" is indeed a beautiful poem and thank you for taking the time
and trouble to post it for the benefit of us ALUers. It would
certainly be a treat if someone could post the whole poem. In May
2007, I posted the same poet's poem entitled "paanii meN" which I took
from "A History of Urdu Literature" by Muhammad Sadiq. This is what he
had to say about Naazir.
KHushii Muhammad Naazir (1872-1944) who has a good many poems to his
credit is remembered today for his "Jogii" ( The Ascetic), a dramatic
poem in which a recluse justifies his renunciation. With the powerful
swing of the verse and apt use of Hindi words, Naazir has fully
succeeded in capturing the spirit of the Middle Ages".
I have tried to search for this poem on the internet and the following
link is the best that I have achieved. It does not take the contents
any further but does tell us that his daughter is in possession of his
full works and the son-in-law ( Hamid. A. Khan) can be contacted by e-
mail and is happy to provide the full poem. The difficulty is that I
could n't find this gentleman's e-mail address. I shall take another
look later.

If no one else comes forward with the full poem, with your permission,
I shall make an attempt at correcting one or two typos.
Thank you for this lovely, musical poem.

Thank you, Naseer Sahib for finding that flickr post. I have added my
comments there in the hope that Khan Sahib sees them and posts the
whole poem. I continue to be amazed by the Internet: Khushi Muhammad
Naazir's son-in-law reachable by tapping on a keyboard? Seems too
good to be true.
It is a sad state of affairs that I could not find the poem even after
looking through most of the bookshops in Islamabad/Rawalpindi a few
months ago.
By all means, please correct my vowels (and other mistakes) in what I
posted of the poem. Some of the words, I have never heard spoken; I
only read them, and since Urdu script leaves out vowels, there must be
many mistakes in what I have typed.

for Khan sahib's permission to share his email with ahbaab-e-ALUP.
Now that I have his permission, here is his letter, in which he
promises to post "Jogi" on his site.

Dear Sir:
Assalam o alaikum
I would gladly send you the full text. I am away from home but have
asked my wife (Shamim Nazir) to send me the full text as well as a
scanned copy of her novle father's portrait painted in the times when
he was serving the State of Kashmir. Shamim has just one copy of his
Divaan.
Shamim was born in his last years and was just 10 years old when Nazir
Sahib passed away in Sirinagar and was burried in the lawns of his
estate there. I could never visit his grave and did not had the good
forune of meeting this faqeer. I met Shamim in 1956 and we were
married the next year in December of 1957, We have four children all
grown up. A recent family picture appears on flickr under the name
"family portrait" I am standing on extreme left and Shamim is sitting
in the center among her three daughter in laws, one daugter three sons
and two grand daughters and a son in law. other grand children could
not be harnessed for the picture.
Thank you for keeping the memory of a noble faqeer alive.
God bless you

> to Jamil Sahib, yih bataaiye kih pahlii qist kii pahlii satar kii
> tarkiib "....-i-nuur hu'aa" meN pahlaa lafz kyaa hai?
yeh nazm maiN ne bhi bachpan meiN paRhii hu'ii hai aur jis lafz ke
baare meiN aap poochh rahe haiN, voh hai:
buq'a(h) or buqa'a(h) --- spelling [be (with pesh), qaaf, ain, he] and
meaning [a place, a house, etc.]
So, buqa'a-e-nuur = a house of light, an illuminated place, etc.
Raj Kumar
Jamil
Naseer Sahib, "naikii aur puchh puuchh?" transliteration irshaad ho.
And yes the word is "buq'ah-e-nuur", meaning house of light. be-
qaaf-'ain-he.
If you start romanising it now, there will be no effect on the
integrity of the poem. In any case the poem has 4 parts or moods.
Each of these has its own style, vocabulary, and style of rhyming.
The first one, comprising the two pages already posted by Khan Sahib,
is the description of the beautiful scenery, which is the perfect
setting for the words of jogi to come. This part is replete with
metaphors, which were (and still are) not common in Urdu poetry:
jab baad-e-saba mizraab bani, har shaaKh-e-nihaal rabaab bani
shmshaad-o-chinaar sitaar huey har samv-o-saman taNbuur hua
The other characteristic that sets this poem apart from traditional
Urdu poetry is the description of nature in the first part. In Urdu
poetry (as in Farsi) there is very little mention of nature, such as
one finds for example in the poetry of Wordsworth. If beauty is
praised (other than a beloved's), it is that of a tendered gulshan or
tame chaman or neatly planted rows of roses. I would hazard a guess
that the first part of Jogi was inspired and influenced by English
poetry, which had become accessible to Indian poets educated in the
English language. This is not to belittle such poetry, since the
words, and taraakiib are very much steeped in tradition, and the
effect on the reader can be ecstatic unlike any that English can
produce.
When the poet sees the jogi, the vocabulary changes and just enough
Hindi words are used to alter the ambiance. One gets an ominous
feeling, even if one doesn't know the meanings (as I don't). Is it
bhabhuut or bhubhuut or bhabhot and what does it mean? Or does it
matter? The sound of the word is enough to evoke images of sadhus and
sanyaasis living a life devoted to meditation.
The second part of the poem is when the jogi chides the intruder for
disturbing him, and gives his reasons for becoming an ascetic. This is
a devastating censure of the worldly greed, selfishness, petty
jealousies and enmities and what we would now call the "rat race".
The intruder then tries to counter the jogi's arguments and tells him
why he should return to society and live the life to the fullest and
why he should experience the pains and pleasures of the world, rather
than be a dropout. It is the intruder and not the jogi who gets to
utter the poem's most eloquent line:
"chal sheher meN saNkh bajaa jogi, bazaar meN dhuuni ramaa jogi"
In the last and fourth part the Jogi counters the intruder's
arguments. His argument is that in fact inner peace is achieved by
turning one's attention away from one's material possessions:
"sil paththar iiNT makaan tumheN detey haiN sukhi se chhuRaa babaa"
Naazir leaves no doubt in our mind as to who the winner of the debate
it. The arguments of the jogi are weighty, and they are even more
relevant now than they were at the time the poem was written.

Jamil Saheb,
With due respect, I would like to make a few observations.
I think the word is "bhabhoot". Also, "samv-o-saman" seems
to be a typo. Maybe it is "sarv-o-chaman".
Moreover, the belief (that "there is very little mention of
nature in Urdu poetry") is at best an over-simplication.
Perhaps writers like Maulana Haali and Maulvi Mohammed Husain
Aazaad helped in creating/promoting this belief. Since those
times, Urdu poetry should not be accused of such lack. In fact,
a few years back, I had mentioned in these pages that hackneyed
love poetry ("paamal aur farsooda mazaameen") being posted here
should also be supplemented by works where Indian experiences
and "nature" have been emphasised. And some months back, I had
myself posted quite a few poems of this nature (pun unintended).
If time permits, please go through them. And even before Haali
and Aazaad, we had Meer Anees who excelled in this respect. His
marsiyaas are replete with a large number of ash'aar which can be
classified in this category. Some years back, I had given the
example of Janaab Benazeer Shah who specialized in "poetry of and
about nature". His poems, belonging to this genre, also were
included in school text books of the twenties and thirties ---
I have myself read those text books.
As regards Urdu poets deriving inspiration from Wordsworth, I think
the issue requires much deeper study and research. Personally,
I have my own doubts in this regard. And, in my time, I have read
Wordsworth and other English poets too.
I believe Chaudhury Khushi Mohammed Naazir was first mentioned on
ALUP by Yours Truly, when I posted one of his ghazals in April this
year. Subsequently, I had posted a ghazal by one of his literary
devotees, where I had also mentioned that Chaudhury Saheb was at
that time the Administrative Head/Prime Minister or Governor of the
princely state of Kashmir, ruled then by the Dogra Maharaja Pratap
Singh. So, if the poet has mentioned "sarv-o-chaman", "shamshaad-
o-chinaar" etc., maybe we should ascribe the inspiration to
beautiful Kashmir. I had also been thinking about posting one of
his poems here --- and that too is linked to Kashmir.

I think you and other ALUPers will have to to carry out a considerable
amount of chopping and changing to the nazm. I have used the version
provided by Hamid.A.Khan Sahib even though it differs substantially
from your version. I hasten to add also that your version makes more
sense in places.When we have the final version of "Jogii" in Roman-
Urdu, I shall cut/paste your and other ALUPers' comments with it, so
that most if not all the information regarding it is one place.

Your point is valid in that indeed there have been poems written that
have addressed "Indian experiences and Nature", but these have not
been plentiful, particularly before the start of movement of "natural
shaa'iri", which you alluded to. Your own posting of such poems in
threads with headings such as "Forgotten and Unappreciated Poets"
testifies to this.
Perhaps the reason is that the predominant genre of Urdu poetry,
namely ghazal, doesn't lend itself to detailed descriptions of the
type we are talking about. Nevertheless, if one opens Mir's book
randomly one will find on every page at least one or two couplets
mentioning chaman, gulistan, gul, or baagh. This is an example of
what I said about Urdu poetry talking of tended and cultivated
gardens, but not of wild beauty out there, unless it is to symbolize
desolation and destruction with such terms as viiraanah, dasht,
bayaabaaN, seHraa.
I do realize that you mentioned Khushi Muhammad Naazir on ALUP earlier
on. It was from your posts that I found out that he used "Chaudhury"
before his name and that he also wrote other poems and ghazals besides
"Jogi".
When I was in College, I heard an anecdote from my chemistry professor
about his own experience when he was a student of the eminent
academic, Professor Bhatnagar (of Government College, Lahore in pre-
independence days). According to the story, the graduates of my
teacher's generation knew only the first two laws of thermodynamics
and knew little about the Third Law. Apparently when the eminent
scientist reached the stage where he was to begin teaching the third
law, his students would say almost on cue, "Sir, we want to hear
Jogi". The professor would start reciting the poem and he never got
the time to teach the rest of thermodynamics.

Thank you, Naseer Sahib for posting the roman version of the first two
installments of the poem, and for giving the meanings of difficult
words. But "refulgent", "plectrum", "ermine"? One needs yet another
dictionary.
What I posted was from memory; it is unlikely to be accurate.
Nevertheless the following line in what you transliterated does not
seem to be correct. The word is likely to be "taNbuur" rather than
"tuyuur", otherwise the metaphor would be mixed and the meter would be
flawed, unless one reads the word as "tuyyuur", which would be a
stretch:
"shamshaad-o-chanaar sitaar hu'e har sarv-o-saman tuyuur hu'aa"
Also a minor typo in the meanings needs to be pointed out: it should
be carpet, rather than capet (bisaat).
I am glad that even though you posted Hamid Khan Sahib's version
(which was the correct thing to do), you did make an obviously needed
change: "chiRoN" rather than "chiloN". In the context of planting
flags, the former is more logical.
The meter demands another change: In the second line above, the word
may be "kuhray" rather than "kuhr".
ramaana: "A jogi's burning of something"
We look forward to the rest of the poem, and your transliteration.

I agree with Jamil Saheb's comment. I think the naz'm can
be far more enjoyable if readers concentrate on the sense,
rather than a literal translation.

The word should indeed be "tan(m)boor" which is a musical
instrument. At times, it is also spelt with a "he" at the
end. The word here has to be in consonance with other
musical metaphors like "mizraab", "rabaab" and "sitaar".

I feel the word should be spelt as "cheeR", rather than "chiR"
or "chiRoN" (in plural form). The reference obviously is to
the Pine trees which are found in abundance in that region.
"CheeR" is a tall stately tree and the tarkeeb "jhaN'De gaaR'na"
goes well with it.
> The meter demands another change: In the second line above, the word

From a linguistic angle too, "kuhre" (or "kohre" is a better
choice.
>
> ramaana: "A jogi's burning of something"
"Bhabhoot ramaana" means a sort of ritual act of smearing one's
body with ashes, which ascetics are wont to do. The sense of
"burning something" may not be quite appropriate here. "Dhooni
ramaana" is something else, which conjures up images of Burning
something (like incense) with resulting fumes/smoke.

I have enquired from janaab-i-Hamid.A.Khan Sahib if Chaudhary KHushii
Muhammad Naazir's kalaam was published in his life time and if this
was the case, if he had seen the publication and approved himself for
its accuracy. This is the reply from Hamid.A.Khan Sahib.
.......... his diwaan under the name of "Naghma-e-Firdos" was
published in two parts by his confidant and friend Maulvi Ibraheem
Sahib (pleader) of Sirinagar Kashmir. A few copies of the same were
placed in Sirinagar Main Library. Then after the partition of India
much after the demise of Choudhry Khushi Mohammad Nazir Sahib another
Diwan was published in (Arabic font print) by his grand daughter's
husband Mr. Ch. Abdul Hameed which was ditto copy of the original
Nagham-e-Firdos published by Maulvi Ibrahim at Sirinagar but it was
combined in one book instead of two. Later Ch. Amjad (grandson) s/o
Ch. Hameedullah Sahib of Bahawalpur s/o Ch. Khushi Mohammad Nazir
Sahib was published in its present form at Lahore. My wife says that
Amjad Sahib deleted some verses from Jogi and other poems which
contained overwhelming Hindi or Sanskrit words, perhaps because he
could not understand them. Hence there may be a contradiction in two
compilations. The original two Naghma e Firdoa Hissa Awal and Doem
were with my wife but got lost during her move from Pakistan to USA in
1980. However Ch. Abdul Hameed Sahib the second publisher at Lahore
(the husband of Nazir Sahib's grand daughter) must have the original
in its pristine form. I will try to contact him and connect him to you
and others.

Thank you for continuing to do the good work. This leaves only one
installment - comprising the Jogi's reply to Naazir. Of course, we
will wait eagerly for it. In these time of greed, turmoil, conflict
and violence, the words that Naazir puts in Jogi's mouth can bring
great solace.
As for the word in the line:
> parbat meN nagar meN saagar meN haratra(?) hai har-jaa jogii
It is "har utra hai har jaa jogi". Har is Vishnu, Krishn, or God.
There is a nice play on words: har utraa hai har jaa.
In case ALUPers want to read the poem in Urdu script, here is the
link to Hamid Khan Sahib's page with the latest installment.

Thank you for the correction. I shall incorporate this in the final
version. Yes, it is wonderful play on words "...Har( i )utraa hai har-
jaa jogii".
I have a query on another word.

Do we have "saaGhar" here in place of "saagar"? I have a novel called
"merii kahaanii" by M.Aslam at home and this shi'r is quoted with the
word "saaGhar" there although Hamid.A.Khan Sahib's post indicates it
as "saagar".

Naseer aur Jamil saahibaan,
Not that it makes any difference to our interpretation of this line,
nor to the interestingness of the play on words, but I just wanted to
point out that "har" and "hari" are two distinct manifestations of the
Supreme Being.
Hari = Vishnu, Krishna (as a Vishnu avatar) is generally considered
the Preserver and Perpetuator of all Creation
Har(a) = Shiva, Rudra, Ishwar is considered the Destroyer.
(Destroyer != Evil or Negative Force.)
Unfortunately, due to the peculiarities of the Urdu script, this
subtle distinction s often ignored and har is treated as the same
thing as hari.

Interesting observation. The war-cry "Har Har Mahadev" always
referred to Shiva and never to Vishnu.
I don't know much about these things, but I doubt whether
"Har" is used for Vishnu. I think it is usually, if not always,
"Hari", i.e. an 'i' is added at the end. For instance, people
say "Hari Murari", not "Har Murari".

Judging from the context, it has to be Saagar and not saaGhar. Prem
ka saaGhar would be discordant. Also, the rest of the words are all
Hindi.
UVR Sahib and Afzal Sahib: Is the word har the same as in the name
Harbhajan, Harminder. How about Hari (as in Bartari Hari and Hari
Chand Akhtar)? Is this also connected to the chant "Hare Krishna,
Hare Raam"?

"jogi is the title of a famous poem which remained a part of Urdu

decades until mid sixties. It was composed by my late father in law
Ch. Khushi Mohammad Nazir Sahib ex-Governor of Kashmir and Chief
Minister of Rampur State. He passed away in 1945-46 and I did not have
the honor of meeting him. He was a great Sufi and his poetry
collection is very much in demand its name is "Naghma e Firdaus" "The
song of Paradise".. I am receiving mail almost on daily basis from
every continent asking me to post all of his poetry. Even the state
Library has approached me. But I do not have the book. My wife has a
copy and she would not part with it for a mountain of gold. I have
written to her to let me have a photo copy of the book but she is all

Thanks for this information.
If it is assumed that the book in question has been out of print
for a long long time and there is no way one can retrieve Naazir
Saheb's kalaam, it is surprising to see the reluctance on the
part of his own daughter not to make public the contents of the
book. With modern technology, it should not be difficult to
get copies of the book and/or to put it on the computer. I think
we owe it to the late Chaudhury Saheb to have his kalaam made
available to an admiring public. Just imagine, if Ghalib or Mir's
family members had displayed the same sort of reluctance to part
with their kalaam !

I thought that between har and hari as written in Urdu there should be
no confusion. Hari is with a chhoTi ye at the end and har is without

It seems that things have taken a turn for the better. On the Flikr
site, Hamid .A. Khan Sahib has responded to a comment by a lady called
Asma in the following words. I have edited his messsage slightly.
Asma:-
I hope the copy and wife comes soon :) It was pleasure reading through
it ... thank for sharing with us !
Hamid.A.Khan Sahib
Asma: your comment is hilarious. Neither of the two came However I
have found another source, hopefully I might gat hold of one copy
after all.Ch. Khushi Mohammad Nazir's poetry is down to earth and is
pregnant with Sufism. It is evident that he, despite his worldly
success, was a man of God. May Allah bless his soul.

Just when we had lost all hope about Jogi, and in the words of a
recent post, when our Khaahish, which had changed to aarzuu, and then
took the form of iltejaa, finally seemed to have become an armaan, I
get this email from Kamran Siddiqi Sahib. Siddiqi Sahib has allowed
me to share the email with other friends at ALUP. He has also
promised Jogi by email. I am confident that it is not another mirage,
and we will get the poem.
I have sent him the links to Khushi Muhammad Naazir's other poems,
which were posted on ALUP by Afzal Sahib.
The grandfather that Kamran Sahib mentions is none other than
Professor Rashid Ahmed Siddiqi, eminent author and critic.

-------------------------------------------
Kamran Siddiqi Sahib writes:
"Dear fellow-traveller,
for some inexplicable reason, for the first time ever, I decided to
look for Chaudhry Khushi Mohammad on google. Lo and behold, i found
all these emails.
I have the full Urdu text of the original jogi poem written around
1903 (I believe) and the second one around 1932 or 33. the first part
is called 'Jogi, hissa awwal, naghma-e-haqeeqat'. The later part is
'Jogi, hissa doam, tarana-e-wahdat'. I can send to you/others if you
want.
Chaudhry saheb was in the first or possibly second batch of the
Aligarh Muslim University. He was apparently a tall man, and given
his poetic bent, he was affectionately called 'Longfellow' by his
friends at the AMU. My grandfather, an Urdu writer and critic of some
note, who was also the Head of the Urdu department at AMU, used to
narrate a story about Chaudhary saheb - Chaudhary saheb, like all
before and after him, had a deep and abiding affection for the AMU.
One time when he had come for a class reunion, late in life, he
addressed the alumni and said, "main Aligarh is tarah aya hoon jaise
dulhan apnay maikay aati hai.'
This great poem, Jogi, was taught by my grandfather to my father, and
from my father to me. It has always been a big part of our life, and
my inspiration. It sits by my bedside, and when in need for
perspective and inspiration, I read it. Not sure why I read it,
because I have long since committed it to memory.
I am very keen to get hold of other works of this great man - but cant
find it anywhere.

Kamran Siddiqi"

I hope Naseer Sahib takes the usual trouble of transliterating it into
Roman script and supplying the meanings of difficult words.
I am learning for the first time that the poem has two parts written
many years apart. Wonders of the Internet!
My sincere thanks to Kamran Sahib for doing this immense favour.

Chaudhury Saheb some 5-6 years back.
But you have merely quoted previous post/s, without adding any

I AM ABHINAV SHARMA FROM PUNJAB HEARD ABOUT THE POEM FROM MY UNCLE IN MANDIR AND WAS KEEN TO HAVE THE FULL POEM AS UNCLE COULD ONLY SPELL 4 TO 5 STANZAZ BUT BELOW I AM SENDING FULL POEM AND IF ANY ONE KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS MISSING DO LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN MAKE THE CORRECTION AND HAVE THE TREASURE THAT OUR ELDERS HAD GIVEN US IN FULL.
THANKS TO ALL .
HERE IS THE POEM
Kal subh Matlaye Tabaan se Jab Alam Bukkai Noor Hua,
Sab Chand Sitare Maand Hua Khursheed ka Noor Juhoor Hua.
Mastana Havayen Gulshan thi Janana Adayen Gulban Thi,
Har Vadi Vadi Amen thi,Har Koh Pe Noor samaya Tha.
Jab Vade Saba Mizrab Bani, Har Shaakh Misale Rabab Bani,
Shamshaad-O-Chinaar Sitar Bane, Har Saro Suman Tamboor Hua.
Sab Tayar Mil ke Gane Lage, Irfaan ki Tane Udane Lage,
Ashjaar Bhi Vazad Mein Ane Lage, Dilkash Vo Samaye Tumboor hua.
Sabze Ne Bisaat Bichaii Thi, Aur Bazme Suroor Samai Thi,
Ban mein Gulshan Mein Angan MeinFarshe Sanjab Vasamool Hua.
Tha Dilkash Manzar Dashta Jabal, Aur Chaal Saban Ki Mastana,
Is Haal Main Ek Pahadi Par, Ja Nikla Naazar Diwana.
Chilon Ne Jhande Gade The, Parvat Par Chauni Chai Thi,
The Kheme Dere Badal Ke, Kore ne Kanat Bichai Thi.
Yahan Barf Ke Tode Galte The, Chandi Ke Favvare Chalte The,
Chashme Simaat Ugalte The, Naloon Ne Dhoom Machai Thi.
Yahan Kullai Koh Pr Rehta Tha, Ek Mast Kalandar Vairagi,
Thi Raakh Jattaon Mein Jogi ke, Aur Ang Vibhoot Ramai Thi.
Tha Raakh Ka Jogi Ka Bistar, Aur Raakh Ka Piraahan Tan Par,
Thi Ek Langoti Zeve Kamar, Jo Ghutno Tak Latkaai Thi.
Sab Khalke Khuda Se Begana, Vo Mast Kalandar Diwana,
Baitha Tha Jogi Mastana, Annkhon Mein Masti Chai Thi.
Jogi Se Ankhe Chaar Hui, Aur Jhuk ke Maine salaam Kiya,
Tab Aankh Utha ke 'Nazar' se, Youn Banbaasi ne Kalaam Kiya.
Kyon Baba Nahak Jogi ko, Tum Kis Liya Ake Satate ho,
Ham Pankh Pakhero Banvasi, Tum Jaal Mein A Ke Phansate Ho.
Koi Jhagda Daal Chapati ka, Koi dava Ghode Hathi Ka,
Koi Shikva Sangi Sathi Ka, Tum Ham Ko Sunane Ate Ho.
Ham Hirso Hawa Ko chod Chuke, Is Nagri se Munh Mod Chuke,
Ham Jo Zanzeeren Tode Chuke, Tum lake Vahi Pahnate Ho.
Tum Pooja Karte Ho Dhan Ki, Ham Seva Karte Hai Saajan ki,
Ham jot Jagate Hai Man ki, Tum Ake Use Bujhate Ho.
Sansaar Se Yeh Mukh Phera hai, Man Mein sajan Ka Dera hai,
Yahan Aankh Ladi Hai Priytam Se, Tum Kis Se Aankh Ladate Ho.
Question of Nazar:
Us Mast Kalandar Jogi Ne, Jab Nazar Ko Yeh Ataab Kiya,
Kuch Der To Ham Khamooshn Rahe, Phir Jogi is yeh Mataab Kiya.
Hein Ham Pardesi Seelani, Mat Nahak Taish Main Aa Jogi,
Ham Aate Tere Darshan Ko, Chitwan Par Mail Na La Jogi.
Abaadi Se Munh Phera Kyon, Parbat mein kiya Dera Kyon,
Har Mehfil mein, Har Manzil Mein, Har Dil mein Noore Khuda Jogi.
Kya Masjid Mein Kya Mandir Main, Sab Jalwa Hai Vo Allah Ka,
Parbat Mein, Nagar Main, Sagar Mein, Har Uttran Hai Har Ja Jogi.
Ji Shahar Mein Khoob Machalta, Vahan Husn Pe Ishk Machalta Hai,
Vahan Pram Ka Sagar Chalta Hai, Chal Dil Ki Pyas Bhuja jogi.
Va Dil Ka Guncha khilta Hai, Har Rang Mein Mauman milta Hai,
Chal Shahar Mein Shankh Baja Jogi, Chal Bazaar Mein Dhooni Rama Jogi.
Answer of Jogi:
In Chikni Chupdi Batton Se, Mat Jogi Ko Phusla Baba,
Jo aag Bujhai Yatano Se, Us Par Na Teel Gira Baba.
Hai Sharon Mein Guloshoor Bahut, Aur Hirso Hawa Ka Shoor Bahut,
Baste Hain Nagar Mein Choor Bahut, Sadhu Ki Ban Main Ja Baba.
Hai Shahar Mein Shorash Nafsaani, Jangal Main Jalwa Ruhani,
Hai Nagari Dagari Kasrat Ki, Ban Vahadat Ka Dariya Baba.
Ham jangal Ke Phal Khate Hai, Chashmon Se Pyas Bhujhte Hai,
Raja Ke Dware Na Jate Hai, Parja Ki Nahin Parwah Baba.
Sar Par Akaash Ka mandal Hai, Dharti Pe Suhani Makhmal Hai,
Din Ko Suraj Ki Mahfil Hai, Shab Ko Taaron Ki sabha Baba.
Jab Jhoom Ke Yahan Ghan Ate Hain, Masti Ka Rang Jamate Hain,
Chashme Tambool Bajate Hai, Gaati Hai Tab Malhaar Ban Baba.
Yahan Panchi Mil Kar Gate Hai, Pritam Ka Sandesh Sunate Hai,
Ya Roop Anoop Dikhate Hai, Phal Phool Aur Barag Gaya Baba.
Hai Pet Ka Hardam Dhyan Tumhe, Aur Yaad Nahin Bhagwaan Tumhe,
Sil, Pathar Eent Makaan Tumhe, Dete Hain Sakhi Se Chuda Baba.
Tan Man Ko Dhan Mein Lagate Ho, Pritam Ko Dil Se Bhulate Ho,
Maati Mein Lal Gawante Ho, Tum Bande Hilso Hawa Baba.
Dhan Daulat Aani Jaani, Yeh Duniya Ram Kahani Hai,
Yeh Alaam Phani Phani Hai, Baki Hai Zate Khuda Baba.

We managed to get hold of the whole poem and it was posted in Roman on 31/01/2009 in this thread. Now days we are lucky to have such resources as rekhta.org and this nazm is available there too.
