I felt that God could be realized only through service. And service for me was the service of India, because it came to me without my seeking, because I had an aptitude for it.
Dil main hua tha kuchh-kuchh tumse milake hath
Manga tumhe khuda se fauran uthake hath
Ab to mere dil ka arman yahi hai
Khushiya tumhe doon tumse gam le loon badha ke
hath
Chubhne na dun kante kabhi tumhare pairon main
Rakh doon tumhari rahon main apne bichha ke
hath
Dekho juda kare ya mila de hame fir se
Har faisla mera hai ab to khuda ke hath
‘kasam’ main taumar tumse karunga pyar
Jana na tum bhi ‘Priya’ mujhse chhuda ke hath
