kab tak rahe sine mein tamanna-e-madina

kab tak rahe siina meñ tamannā-e-madīna

kab tak dil-e-betāb kahe haa.e madīna

mar jā.ūñ madīne meñ madīne meñ lahad ho

le jā.ūñ lahad meñ maiñ tamannā-e-madīna

aa baiTho mire dil meñ ki dil arsh-e-barīñ hai

tum chāho to siina mirā ban jaa.e madīna

yā-rab mire dil meñ rahe yasrib kī tamanna

yā-rab mire sar meñ rahe saudā-e-madīna

ai chashm-e-tasavvur tujhe itnā hī bahut hai

ghar baiThe nazar meñ mirī aa jaa.e madīna

'sā.il' kī tamanna hai shab-o-roz ilāhī

har dam mire dil meñ rahe saudā-e-madīna

kab tak rahe sina mein tamanna-e-madina

kab tak dil-e-betab kahe hae madina

mar jaun madine mein madine mein lahad ho

le jaun lahad mein main tamanna-e-madina

aa baiTho mere dil mein ki dil arsh-e-barin hai

tum chaho to sina mera ban jae madina

ya-rab mere dil mein rahe yasrib ki tamanna

ya-rab mere sar mein rahe sauda-e-madina

ai chashm-e-tasawwur tujhe itna hi bahut hai

ghar baiThe nazar mein meri aa jae madina

'sail' ki tamanna hai shab-o-roz ilahi

har dam mere dil mein rahe sauda-e-madina
