watan ki sar-zamin se ishq o ulfat hum bhi rakhte hain
khatakti jo rahe dil mein wo hasrat hum bhi rakhte hain

zarurat ho to mar mitne ki himmat hum bhi rakhte hain
ye jurat ye shujaat ye basalat hum bhi rakhte hain

zamane ko hila dene ke dawe bandhne walo
zamane ko hila dene ki taqat hum bhi rakhte hain

bala se ho agar sara jahan un ki himayat par
khuda-e-har-do-alam ki himayat hum bhi rakhte hain

bahaar-e-gulshan-e-ummid bhi sairab ho jae
karam ki aarzu ai abr-e-rahmat hum bhi rakhte hain

gila na-mehrbani ka to sab se sun liya tum ne
tumhaari mehrbani ki shikayat hum bhi rakhte hain

bhalai ye ki aazadi se ulfat tum bhi rakhte ho
burai ye ki aazadi se ulfat hum bhi rakhte hain

hamara nam bhi shayad gunahgaron mein shamil ho
janab-e-'josh' se sahab salamat hum bhi rakhte hain
