    ajnabī shahr nāzāñ na ho

    ham ġharīb-ul-vatan tere dāman meñ aa.e to haiñ

    tujh ko beche to haiñ apne ilm-o-hunar sanadeñ

    ham ko iqrār hai

    terī raunaq se kab ham ko inkār hai

    jaane kyoñ

    har qadam par ye ehsās hai

    ik na.ī car bankoñ ke qarze kyā yahī apnī mīrās hai

    apnī tahzīb maz.hab zabāñ

    haath meñ ḳhālī kashkol thāme

    saath chalte haiñ kyoñ

    ik ḳhalish dil meñ rahtī hai kyoñ

    ki ye dollar hamārā ḳhudā to nahīñ

    ajnabī shahr kaise batā.eñ

    tere dāman rangīniyāñ dekh kar

    yaad aate haiñ kyoñ apne vo ham-vatan

    jin ke chehre dhuāñ

    jism lāġhar

    ḳhamīda kamar

    zindagī rā.egāñ

    ajnabī shahr ab kyā batā.eñ

    ham ne kyoñ chhoḌ

    apne āñgan 'usrat-zada āfiyat

    apne ghar apne mausam apne naġhmoñ mastī

    kis ko ilzām deñ

    ḳhud ko

    hālāt ko

    zindagī na.ī tez raftār ko

    ki un kargasoñ ko jo siyāsat gaddī pe haiñ jalva-gar

    ajnabi shahr nazan na ho

    hum gharib-ul-watan tere daman mein aae to hain

    tujh ko beche to hain apne ilm-o-hunar sanaden

    hum ko iqrar hai

    teri raunaq se kab hum ko inkar hai

    jaane kyon

    har qadam par ye ehsas hai

    ek nai car bankon ke qarze kya yahi apni miras hai

    apni tahzib mazhab zaban

    hath mein KHali kashkol thame

    sath chalte hain kyon

    ek KHalish dil mein rahti hai kyon

    ki ye dollar hamara KHuda to nahin

    ajnabi shahr kaise bataen

    tere daman ki ranginiyan dekh kar

    yaad aate hain kyon apne wo ham-watan

    jin ke chehre dhuan

    jism laghar

    KHamida kamar

    zindagi raegan

    ajnabi shahr ab kya bataen

    hum ne kyon chhoD di

    apne aangan ki 'usrat-zada aafiyat

    apne ghar apne mausam apne naghmon ki masti

    kis ko ilzam den

    KHud ko

    haalat ko

    zindagi ki nai tez raftar ko

    ya ki un kargason ko jo siyasat ki gaddi pe hain jalwa-gar
