apni zamin se dur zaman-o-makan se dur
apnī zamīñ se duur zamān-o-makāñ se duur
ham ne sajā liyā hai qafas āshiyāñ se duur
maanā ki ham vatan se azīzoñ se duur haiñ
tahzīb se judā haiñ na urdu zabāñ se duur
mahsūr tañgnā-e-masālik meñ ham nahīñ
dair-o-haram se duur haiñ kū-e-butāñ se duur
mahsūs kar rahe haiñ vilāyat meñ āj-kal
hindostāñ meñ rahte haiñ hindostāñ se duur
soz-e-yaqīn mish.al-e-rāh-e-hayāt hai
tashkīl se buland haiñ vahm-o-gumāñ se duur
'sultān' asīr-e-zulf hue bhī to kis ke aap
dil se bahut qarīb haiñ aur jism-o-jāñ se duur
apni zamin se dur zaman-o-makan se dur
hum ne saja liya hai qafas aashiyan se dur
mana ki hum watan se azizon se dur hain
tahzib se juda hain na urdu zaban se dur
mahsur tangna-e-masalik mein hum nahin
dair-o-haram se dur hain ku-e-butan se dur
mahsus kar rahe hain wilayat mein aaj-kal
hindostan mein rahte hain hindostan se dur
soz-e-yaqin mishal-e-rah-e-hayat hai
tashkil se buland hain wahm-o-guman se dur
'sultan' asir-e-zulf hue bhi to kis ke aap
dil se bahut qarib hain aur jism-o-jaan se dur
