watan se dur yaran-e-watan ki yaad aati hai

vatan se duur yārān-e-vatan kī yaad aatī hai

qafas meñ ham-navāyān-e-chaman kī yaad aatī hai

ye kaisā zulm hai phir sāya-e-dīvār-e-zindāñ meñ

vatan ke sāya-e-sarv-o-saman kī yaad aatī hai

tasavvur jis se rañgīñ hai taḳhayyul jis se raqsāñ hai

ġhazāl-e-hind-o-āhū-e-ḳhutan kī yaad aatī hai

kabhī lailā-o-shīrīñ gaah hīr-o-shohnī ban kar

nirāle yaar kī bāñke sajan kī yaad aatī hai

kahāñ kā ḳhauf-e-zindāñ dahshat-e-dār-o-rasan kaisī

qad-e-māshūq-o-zulf-e-pur-shikan kī yaad aatī hai

watan se dur yaran-e-watan ki yaad aati hai

qafas mein ham-nawayan-e-chaman ki yaad aati hai

ye kaisa zulm hai phir saya-e-diwar-e-zindan mein

watan ke saya-e-sarw-o-saman ki yaad aati hai

tasawwur jis se rangin hai taKHayyul jis se raqsan hai

ghazal-e-hind-o-ahu-e-KHutan ki yaad aati hai

kabhi laila-o-shirin gah hir-o-shohni ban kar

nirale yar ki banke sajan ki yaad aati hai

kahan ka KHauf-e-zindan dahshat-e-dar-o-rasan kaisi

qad-e-mashuq-o-zulf-e-pur-shikan ki yaad aati hai
