ai watan ai rahat-o-aram ke dilkash dayar
tere shahron par tasadduq tere sahra par nazar

husn mein tu be-badal hai ishq mein tu la-jawab
ram ki tujh mein jawani tujh mein sita ka shabab

khet tere rashk-e-gulshan dasht tere lala-zar
tujh ko bakhshi hai mashiyyat ne bisat-e-zar-nigar

tujh mein hain aabaad daulat-mand bhi nadar bhi
sim-o-zar ke ganj bhi hain ret ke ambar bhi

ek hi saat mein to hai shad bhi nashad bhi
tere chehre se ayan hai dad bhi fariyaad bhi

hai kahin tu maskan-e-mazdur waqt-e-muflisi
hai kahin sarmaya-daron ke liye jam-e-khushi

azm-e-rasikh bhi hai tujh mein shaukat-e-dara bhi hai
lashkar-e-jarrar ka tu afsar-e-ala bhi hai

ai watan sab kuchh hai tujh mein ruh-e-azadi nahin
kha raha hai tere bachchon ko ghulami ka yaqin

ho rahi hain muslim-o-hindu mein khana-jangiyan
gir pada bhaarat ke hathon se ukhuwwat ka nishan
