हरि ओम तत्सत, हरि ओम
महामंत्र है इसको जपाकर जपाकर
के जब सांस आए, धुनियो बराबर
हरि ॐ.....
लगी कहन इक दिन हिमाचल कुमारी
वो है कौन सा शब्द कल्याणकारी
तो बोले त्रिलोचन महादेव शंकर
हरि ॐ.....
असुर ने जो अग्नि का खम्बा रचा था
तो निर्दोष प्रल्हाद क्योंकर बचा था
यही शब्द थे उस की जुबां पर
हरि ॐ ....
लगी आग लंका में हलचल मचा था
तो वहां घर बिभीषण का क्योंकर बचा था
यही शब्द लिखे थे उसके मकां पर
हरि ॐ.....
"In the year 1956, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan gave an enchanting recital at the residence of the Bombay Chief Minister Morarji Desai and finding him in a Cordial mood, Khan Sahib spoke to him and said, "Sir, I earnestly request you to help me in getting Indian Citizenship. I truly tell you that I want to live in India where I belong. I do not want to remain a Pakistani Citizen." Morarjibhai promised to help and it was at his behest that Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru intervened in the matter. In 1957-58, Khan Sahib received Indian Citizenship." (from the book titled "Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and His Contributions to Indian Music" by Dr. Vinita Sapra)
