aaj phir hai hamein khushi ai dost
aai chhabbis january ai dost

yani tarikh wo ki jab bhaarat
pa gaya apni gum-shuda daulat

hum zamane mein baryab hue
apne maqsad mein kaamyab hue

aakhir hum ne badal lin taqdiren
tod kar bandagi ki zanjiren

apni koshish se bahra-mand hue
sari duniya mein sar-buland hue

khush hue shad kahe jaane lage
hum bhi aazad kahe jaane lage

mulk mein aaya daur-e-jamhuri
ho gai dur sari majburi

jo na kar pae aaj karne lage
hum hi mil-jul ke raj karne lage

kahun kya apne rahbaron ki baat
din ko din samjhe wo na raat ko raat

jo bhi kar sakte the wo kar ke rahe
kyon muqaddar na phir sanwar ke rahe

hum ko aazadi aaj hai hasil
ab hai hum sab pe farz ai 'adil'

us ki azmat sada rahe malhuz
har tarah hum rakhen ise mahfuz

is pe koi bhi aanch aane na pae
jaan jae magar ye jaane na pae
