mar kar mili hai chadar-e-khak-e-watan mujhe
mitti ne is zamin ki diya hai kafan mujhe

bhaarat ki gard-e-rah hai mushk-e-khutan mujhe
jannat se bhi aziz hai khak-e-watan mujhe

chup lag gai hai ab nahin tab-e-sukhan mujhe
nahr-e-laban hai teri jabin ki shikan mujhe

chashm-e-karam hai tujh se but-e-tegh-zan mujhe
ruthi hui nigah nahin dil-shikan mujhe

ras aae kya firaq mein sair-e-chaman mujhe
ghunche dikha rahe hain jabin par shikan mujhe

mit mit ke gard-e-rah-e-watan bin raha hun main
pise hazar gardish-e-charkh-e-kuhan mujhe

iksir hai nazar mein meri khak-e-pak-e-hind
ujda hua dayar hai fakhr-e-watan mujhe

soz-o-gudaz-e-gham ka hun afsana-e-khamush
samjho ba-rang-e-saz sarapa sukhan mujhe

main ghuncha-e-fasurda hun gulzar-e-dahr mein
baad-e-bahaar kar na saki khanda-zan mujhe

maqtal mein 'barq' mujh se kashida hai tegh-e-yar
tadpa rahi hai dard se banki dulhan mujhe
