saare jahāñ se achchhā hindostāñ hamārā
ham bulbuleñ haiñ is kī ye gulsitāñ hamārā
ġhurbat meñ hoñ agar ham rahtā hai dil vatan meñ
samjho vahīñ hameñ bhī dil ho jahāñ hamārā
parbat vo sab se ūñchā ham-sāya āsmāñ kā
vo santarī hamārā vo pāsbāñ hamārā
godī meñ kheltī haiñ is kī hazāroñ nadiyāñ
gulshan hai jin ke dam se rashk-e-jināñ hamārā
ai āb-rūd-e-gañgā vo din hai yaad tujh ko
utrā tire kināre jab kārvāñ hamārā
maz.hab nahīñ sikhātā aapas meñ bair rakhnā
hindī haiñ ham vatan hai hindostāñ hamārā
yūnān o misr o ruumā sab miT ga.e jahāñ se
ab tak magar hai baaqī nām-o-nishāñ hamārā
kuchh baat hai ki hastī miTtī nahīñ hamārī
sadiyoñ rahā hai dushman daur-e-zamāñ hamārā
'iqbāl' koī mahram apnā nahīñ jahāñ meñ
mālūm kyā kisī ko dard-e-nihāñ hamārā
sare jahan se achchha hindostan hamara
hum bulbulen hain is ki ye gulsitan hamara
ghurbat mein hon agar hum rahta hai dil watan mein
samjho wahin hamein bhi dil ho jahan hamara
parbat wo sab se uncha ham-saya aasman ka
wo santari hamara wo pasban hamara
godi mein khelti hain is ki hazaron nadiyan
gulshan hai jin ke dam se rashk-e-jinan hamara
ai aab-rud-e-ganga wo din hai yaad tujh ko
utra tere kinare jab karwan hamara
mazhab nahin sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna
hindi hain hum watan hai hindostan hamara
yunan o misr o ruma sab miT gae jahan se
ab tak magar hai baqi nam-o-nishan hamara
kuchh baat hai ki hasti miTti nahin hamari
sadiyon raha hai dushman daur-e-zaman hamara
'iqbaal' koi mahram apna nahin jahan mein
malum kya kisi ko dard-e-nihan hamara
