dharti se dur hain na qarib aasman se hum
dhartī se duur haiñ na qarīb āsmāñ se ham
kuufe kā haal dekh rahe haiñ jahāñ se ham
hindostān ham se hai ye bhī durust hai
ye bhī ġhalat nahīñ ki haiñ hindostāñ se ham
rakkhā hai be-niyāz usī be-niyāz ne
vābasta hī nahīñ haiñ kisī āstāñ se ham
rakhtā nahīñ hai koī shahādat kā hausla
us ke ḳhilāf laa.eñ gavāhī kahāñ se ham
mahfil meñ us ne haath pakaḌ kar biThā liyā
uThne lage the ek zarā darmiyāñ se ham
had jis jagah ho ḳhatm harīfān-e-'ḳhair' kī
vallāh shurū hote haiñ aksar vahāñ se ham
dharti se dur hain na qarib aasman se hum
kufe ka haal dekh rahe hain jahan se hum
hindostan hum se hai ye bhi durust hai
ye bhi ghalat nahin ki hain hindostan se hum
rakkha hai be-niyaz usi be-niyaz ne
wabasta hi nahin hain kisi aastan se hum
rakhta nahin hai koi shahadat ka hausla
us ke KHilaf laen gawahi kahan se hum
mahfil mein us ne hath pakaD kar biTha liya
uThne lage the ek zara darmiyan se hum
had jis jagah ho KHatm harifan-e-'KHair' ki
wallah shuru hote hain aksar wahan se hum
