musalman aur hindu ki jaan
kahan hai mera hindostan

main us ko dhundh raha hun
mere bachpan ka hindostan

na bangladesh na pakistan
meri aasha mera arman

wo pura pura hindostan
main us ko dhundh raha hun

wo mera bachpan wo school
wo kachchi sadken udti dhul

lahakte bagh mahakte phul
wo mere khet mere khaliyan

main us ko dhundh raha hun
wo urdu ghazlen hindi git

kahin wo pyar kahin wo prit
pahadi jharnon ke sangit

dehati lahra purbi tan
main us ko dhundh raha hun

jahan ke krishn jahan ke ram
jahan ki sham saloni sham

jahan ki subh banaras dham
jahan bhagwan karen ashnan

main us ko dhundh raha hun
jahan the 'tulsi' aur 'kabir'

'jaysi' jaise pir faqir
jahan the 'momin' 'ghaalib' 'mir'

jahan the 'rahman' aur 'raskhan'
main us ko dhundh raha hun

wo mere purkhon ki jagir
karachi lahore o kashmir

wo bilkul sher ki si taswir
wo pura pura hindostan

main us ko dhundh raha hun
jahan ki pak pawitra zamin

jahan ki mitti khuld-nashin
jahan mahraj 'moinuddin'

gharib-nawaz hind sultan
main us ko dhundh raha hun

mujhe hai wo leader taslim
jo de yak-jehti ki talim

mita kar kumbon ki taqsim
jo kar de har qalib ek jaan

main us ko dhundh raha hun
ye bhuka shair pyasa kawi

sisakta chand sulagta rawi
ho jis mudra mein aisi chhawi

kara de 'ajmal' ko jalpan
main us ko dhundh raha hun

musalman aur hindu ki jaan
kahan hai mera hindostan

main us ko dhundh raha hun
