be-jurm-o-be-gunah gharib-ul-watan kiya
hum ko watan se shah gharib-ul-watan kiya

ghurbat ki sham ulfat-e-gesu mein dekhiye
us dil ne hum ko aah gharib-ul-watan kya

us par na padti aankh na chhutta kabhi watan
bas tu ne ai nigah gharib-ul-watan kiya

dushman na yun ho dost ne jis tarah se hamein
ba-haalat-e-tabah gharib-ul-watan kiya

ai 'mehr' hum ko charkh ne gardish se roz-o-shab
manind-e-mehr-o-mah gharib-ul-watan kiya
