The poem talks about Shalimar Bagh and Dal Lake in Kashmir and underlines that the country is for every citizen.
“Humara watan khilte hue Shalimar bagh jaise, humara watan Dal lake mein khilte hue kamal jaisa, nau jawanon ke garam khoon jaisa, mera watan tera watan, humara watan, duniya ka sabse pyara watan,” she said. (UNI)
