main zindagi hun zindagi ye hai mera nam-o-nishan
jumbish dah-e-barg-o-samar

surat-gar-e-sham-o-sahar
jaan-o-dil-e-shams-o-qamar

saut-o-nawa-e-bahr-o-bar
hai mujh se gardish mein zamin mujh se hai daur-e-asman

main zindagi hun zindagi ye hai mera nam-o-nishan
inam ye mere liye

aish-o-tarab mere liye
hain roz-o-shab mere liye

hain ek sab mere liye
mazdur ka ho khash-kada ya ahl-e-daulat ka makan

main zindagi hun zindagi ye hai mera nam-o-nishan
mutrib ki aawazon mein hun

chidiyon ki parwazon mein hun
bajte hue sazon mein hun

shah-zor jaan bazu mein hun
uthte hain mere zor se tufan hon ya aandhiyan

main zindagi hun zindagi ye hai mera nam-o-nishan
himmat hai meri sifat-shikan

izzat hai mera bankpan
hai aajizi mera chalan

kya gham jo hai rah-e-mehan
hai dast-e-qudrat mein mere rakhsh-e-taraqqi ki inan

main zindagi hun zindagi ye hai mera nam-o-nishan
aadam ke dil ka raaz hun

jibril ki parwaz hun
daud ki aawaz hun

main nuh ki dam-saz hun
yusuf ne meri chah ki isa ki hun ruh-e-rawan

main zindagi hun zindagi ye hai mera nam-o-nishan
mere qadam jab dat gae

teghon ke baadal chhat gae
khud sher pichhe hat gae

khatron ke halqe kat gae
main ne fana ke ru-ba-ru hans hans ke lin angdaiyan

main zindagi hun zindagi ye hai mera nam-o-nishan
