dil se niklegī na mar kar bhī vatan kī ulfat

merī miTTī se bhī ḳhushbū-e-vafā aa.egī

dil se niklegi na mar kar bhi watan ki ulfat

meri miTTi se bhi KHushbu-e-wafa aaegi

vatan kī ḳhaak se mar kar bhī ham ko uns baaqī hai

mazā dāmān-e-mādar kā hai is miTTī ke dāman meñ

watan ki KHak se mar kar bhi hum ko uns baqi hai

maza daman-e-madar ka hai is miTTi ke daman mein

saare jahāñ se achchhā hindostāñ hamārā

ham bulbuleñ haiñ is kī ye gulsitāñ hamārā

sare jahan se achchha hindostan hamara

hum bulbulen hain is ki ye gulsitan hamara

lahū vatan ke shahīdoñ kā rañg laayā hai

uchhal rahā hai zamāne meñ nām-e-āzādī

lahu watan ke shahidon ka rang laya hai

uchhal raha hai zamane mein nam-e-azadi

dekh raftār-e-inqalāb 'firāq'

kitnī āhista aur kitnī tez

dekh raftar-e-inqalab 'firaq'

kitni aahista aur kitni tez
