na ye zamin hamari na aasman hamara
dozakh se kam nahin hai jannat-nishan hamara

sunna padega sab ko ab to bayan hamara
hindostan ke hum hain hindostan hamara

janta pe raj karti hai dakuon ki toli
wo bach gae junun se kheli thi khun ki holi

masum shahriyon pe jis ne chalai goli
wo santari bana hai ab pasban hamara

ghairon se hum ne sikha apnon ko ghair rakhna
namus hi haram ka na pas-e-dair rakhna

mazhab hi jab sikhae aapas mein bair rakhna
baqi rahega kaise nam-o-nishan hamara

maqtul kya batae hai kaun us ka qatil
kab jaane khatm hogi ye jang-e-haq-o-baatil

hubb-e-watan hamare iman mein hai shamil
muslim hain hum watan hai sara jahan hamara

raushan hui hain shamen hum se hi anjuman mein
ghunche khilae hum ne sahra mein aur ban mein

ai baghban bata tu itne bade chaman mein
kya harj hai rahe gar ek aashiyan hamara

hum ne bhi khun de kar sincha hai is chaman ko
sar se bandha hai ab bhi khola nahin kafan ko

kahte hain aas koi hum se nahin watan ko
hai koi dur kar de wahm-o-guman hamara

go karwan hamara aamada-e-safar hai
raste mein lut na jae har shakhs ko ye dar hai

rahzan bana hai rahbar aur rah pur-khatar hai
manzil pe kaise pahunchega karwan hamara

pagdandiyon pe chalte hain rahguzar nahin hai
tanha hain un ka koi bhi ham-safar nahin hai

hum shairon ko dekho rahne ko ghar nahin hai
likhte hain shairi mein sara jahan hamara

izzat-o-abru se jine ka azm kar len
apne watan pe qurban hone ka azm kar len

maut aa gai to hans kar marne ka azm kar len
kab tak rahega aakhir dil na-tawan hamara

jab se hua hai darham-barham nizam apna
koi nahin jahan mein qaem-maqam apna

sab ke dilon mein yaro ab hai qiyam apna
samjho hamein wahin ab dil hai jahan hamara

jina yahan saza hai ab aur hum kahen kya
gandi faza mein kab tak mar mar ke hum jien kya

chin-o-arab ko le kar hum 'khwah-makhwah' karen kya
kafi hai bas rahe gar hindostan hamara
