mere dil mein jangal hai
aur us mein bhediya rahta hai

jo raat ko meri aankhon mein aa jata hai
aur sare manzar kha jata hai

subh ko suraj apne pyale se shabnam tapkata hai
aur din ka bachcha

meri ruh ke jhule mein rakh jata hai
mere dil mein jangal hai

aur us mein fakhta rahti hai
jo apne paron se mere liye

ek parcham bunti rahti hai
aur khushbu se ek naghma likhti rahti hai

phir thak kar mere baalon mein so jati hai
mere dil mein jangal hai

aur us mein jogi rahta hai
jo mere khun se apni sharab banata hai

aur apne sitar mein chhupi hui ladki ko
pas bulata hai

phir jangal bosa ban jata hai
mere dil mein jangal hai

aur is mein bhula-bhatka zakhmi shahzada hai
jis ka lashkar

khun ki dhaar pe us ke pichhe aata hai
wo apne watan ke naqshe ko zakhmon pe bandh ke

aakhiri khutba deta hai
phir mar jata hai

mere dil mein jangal hai
aur us mein gahri khamoshi hai
