jahan ka chappa chappa gulsitan hai
jahan ki sar-zamin rashk-e-jinan hai

tasadduq jis pe husn-e-asman hai
himala jis ki azmat ka nishan hai

jahan ganga jahan jamuna rawan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan rangin hoti hain fazaen
basi rahti hain khushbu mein hawaen

dikhate hain pahad aur ban adaen
jahan jharne ki maujen gungunaen

jahan nadiyon ka pani kaif-e-jaan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan chaupal hain ganw ki zinat
jahan hai panghaton ki qadr-o-qimat

barasti hai jahan kheton pe rahmat
jahan faslen hain khaliyanon ki daulat

jahan pedon ke sae mein aman hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan subh-e-banaras hai misali
awadh ki sham hai sham-e-diwali

jahan hai 'malwa' ki shab nirali
hai rajasthan ki rangat gulabi

jahan dilkash dakan ka har saman hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan mazhab ke gahware hain raushan
kalisa aur gurudware hain raushan

masajid aur minare hain raushan
jahan ke but-kade sare hain raushan

jahan sham-e-ibaadat zau-fishan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan fan aur tahziben amar hain
jahan qila-o-qutub lutf-e-nazar hain

jahan taj-o-ajanta jalwa-gar hain
jahan ki khushnuma sham-o-sahar hain

jahan har rah rah-e-kahkashan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan 'ram'-o-'krishn'-o-'laxman' the
jahan mera ke honton par bhajan the

jahan 'sur' aur un ke kirtan the
jahan 'rai-das' bhagti mein magan the

jahan 'tulsi' the ramaen jahan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan khwaja muinuddin aae
nizamuddim jis mein jagmagae

jahan 'ras-khan'-o-'khusrau' gungunae
'kabir'-o-'jaisi' ne naghme gae

jahan 'ghaalib' ki fikr-e-jawedan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan aurat ne ki hai hukmrani
lahu se apne likkhi hai kahani

jahan paida hui 'jhansi' ki rani
hai 'raziya' jis ki azmat ki nishani

sunahri jis ki har ek dastan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai

jahan mughalon ne fan se raushni ki
marathon ne jahan tarikh likkhi

jo dharti rajputon ki hai dharti
shujaat jis ko bundelon ne bakhshi

jahan bangal ka azm-e-jawan hai
wahi mera watan hindostan hai
