In Lucknow itself there was a time when R.R.Khanna’s daughters sang Shri Nathji’s verses over the Radio. These verses were to be found in his famous book: Payaame Muhabbat in Urdu and Persian.
Saakiyaa hamko jahaan men ab too aisaa jaam de
Jo hamaare kalbe muztar ko bhee kuchh aaraam de
O Saki, give thou to us such a Cup
Which will fill our restless hearts with peace
Torr kar gaflat ke daamon ko banaa aazaad ab
Yaani phir roohon ko ab too rooh kaa paigaam de
Break thou the bonds of ignorance and make us free
Give thou to the souls, a Message of the Soul
