सारे जहाँ से अच्छा हिन्दोस्तां हमारा

सारे जहाँ से अच्छा हिन्दोस्तां हमारा
हम बुलबुले हैं इसकी यह गुलसिता हमारा

ग़ुरबत में हों अगर हम, रहता है दिल वतन में
समझो वहीँ हमें भी , दिल हो जहाँ हमारा

पर्वत वो सबसे ऊँचा, हमसाया आसमा का
वो संतरी हमारा, वो पासवां हमारा

गोदी में खेलती हैं , जिसकी हजारो नदिया
गुलशन है जिसके दम से रश्के-जिना हमारा

ऐ आबे-रोदें गंगा, वो दिन है याद तुझको
उतरा तेरे किनारे जब कारवां हमारा

मजहब नहीं सिखाता आपस में बैर रखना
हिंदी हैं हम वतन है हिन्दोस्तां हमारा

यूनान , मिश्र , रोम सब मिड गए जहाँ से
अब तक मगर है बाकि नामो- निशाँ हमारा

कुछ बात है की हस्ती मिति नहीं हमारी
सदियों रहा है दुश्मन दौरे जहाँ हमारा

इकबाल कोई मरहूम अपना नहीं जहाँ में
मालूम क्या किसी को दर्दे निहा हमरा

Face off

An American, an Englishman and a Indian went for a hike one day.
It was very hot. They were sweating and exhausted. When they came upon a small lake, they took off all their clothes and jumped into the water since it was fairly secluded

Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying> their "freedom". As they were crossing an open area,
suddenly a group of ladies from town appeared. Unable to get to their clothes in time, the American and the Englishman quickly used their hands to cover their privates. But the Indian covered his face while they ran for cover.

After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the American and the Englishman asked the Indian why he covered his Face rather than his private part
The Indian replied, "I don't know about you, but in my country, it's the face that people recognize."
