uqab dil ho to sara jahan ek sa hai
uqaab dil ho to saarā jahān ek sā hai
zamīn koī bhī ho āsmān ek sā hai
koī Thikāna vatan kā badal nahīñ hotā
muhājiroñ ke liye har makān ek sā hai
ta.ayyunāt-e-ilāqa briādrī firqe
sipāh-e-jahl kahīñ ho nishān ek sā hai
vo koī sāhab-e-jāgīr ho ki mullā ho
magar hamāre liye qahrmān ek sā hai
nigāh masnad-e-a.alā pe roz-e-avval se
dayār-e-yār kā har pāsbān ek sā hai
panāh dāman-e-qānūn meñ na masjid meñ
hamāre shahr meñ har sā.ebān ek sā hai
hamārī aañkh kā taarā vo ho nahīñ saktā
tamām bazm pe jo mehrbān ek sā hai
falūja-o-najaf-o-karbalā se pahle vo
samajh rahe the ki har be-zabān ek sā hai
hazār baar bhī luT kar sabaq nahīñ sīkhā
vafā ke shahr meñ har ḳhush-gumān ek sā hai
jihād-e-saif ho 'ḳhālid' ki ho jihād-e-qalam
kisī zabān meñ ho imtihān ek sā hai
uqab dil ho to sara jahan ek sa hai
zamin koi bhi ho aasman ek sa hai
koi Thikana watan ka badal nahin hota
muhajiron ke liye har makan ek sa hai
tayyunat-e-ilaqa briadri firqe
sipah-e-jahl kahin ho nishan ek sa hai
wo koi sahab-e-jagir ho ki mulla ho
magar hamare liye qahrman ek sa hai
nigah masnad-e-ala pe roz-e-awwal se
dayar-e-yar ka har pasban ek sa hai
panah daman-e-qanun mein na masjid mein
hamare shahr mein har saeban ek sa hai
hamari aankh ka tara wo ho nahin sakta
tamam bazm pe jo mehrban ek sa hai
faluja-o-najaf-o-karbala se pahle wo
samajh rahe the ki har be-zaban ek sa hai
hazar bar bhi luT kar sabaq nahin sikha
wafa ke shahr mein har KHush-guman ek sa hai
jihad-e-saif ho 'KHalid' ki ho jihad-e-qalam
kisi zaban mein ho imtihan ek sa hai
