jo is chaman mein ye gul sarw-o-yasman ke hain
jo is chaman meñ ye gul sarv-o-yāsman ke haiñ
ye jitne rañg haiñ sab tere pairahan ke haiñ
ye sab karishma-e-arz-e-hunar usī ke haiñ
guloñ meñ naqsh tire hī lab-o-dahan ke haiñ
tabī.atoñ meñ ajab rañg-e-ajnabiyyat hai
ye shāh-pāre to sab tere arz-e-fan ke haiñ
havas meñ ishq meñ tahzīb-e-tarbiyat kā hai farq
vagarna donoñ usī maktab-e-badan ke haiñ
hameñ to lā ke yahāñ par basā diyā gayā hai
ḳhabar hai mulk-e-adam ham tire vatan ke haiñ
amīr-e-shahr tū apnī qabā-e-zar ko bhī dekh
sab is meñ taar mire reza-e-kafan ke haiñ
kahāñ akele mirī ḳhvāhishoñ kā dam niklā
nishāñ bhī us ke gale par mirī ghuTan ke haiñ
ḳhud apne shahr kī tahzīb bhuul baiThe haiñ
ye kaun log haiñ aur jaane kaise ban ke haiñ
mere harīf mirā ehtirām karte haiñ
suḳhan-varoñ meñ bhī charche mire suḳhan ke haiñ
jo is chaman mein ye gul sarw-o-yasman ke hain
ye jitne rang hain sab tere pairahan ke hain
ye sab karishma-e-arz-e-hunar usi ke hain
gulon mein naqsh tere hi lab-o-dahan ke hain
tabiaton mein ajab rang-e-ajnabiyyat hai
ye shah-pare to sab tere arz-e-fan ke hain
hawas mein ishq mein tahzib-e-tarbiyat ka hai farq
wagarna donon usi maktab-e-badan ke hain
hamein to la ke yahan par basa diya gaya hai
KHabar hai mulk-e-adam hum tere watan ke hain
amir-e-shahr tu apni qaba-e-zar ko bhi dekh
sab is mein tar mere reza-e-kafan ke hain
kahan akele meri KHwahishon ka dam nikla
nishan bhi us ke gale par meri ghuTan ke hain
KHud apne shahr ki tahzib bhul baiThe hain
ye kaun log hain aur jaane kaise ban ke hain
mere harif mera ehtiram karte hain
suKHan-waron mein bhi charche mere suKHan ke hain
