sar zameene hindustan

sar zameene hindustan assalaam vaalekum

meraa naam baadashaah khaan hai

ishq meraa mazahab mohabbat

meraa imaan hai

mohabbat jisake liye shiri aur laila ke

naam phulonki khushabu ban gaye

jisake liye pahaadon kaa sinaa chir kar

dudh ki nahar bahaa di

jisake liye farahad ne pahadon ka

sina chir kar dhood ki neher baha di

jisake liye majanun ne saharaa ki

kaak chhaani hai

aur aaj bhi jindaa hain tavaarikh ban kar

usi mohabbat ke liye kaabul ka ye pathan

hindostaan ki sara zameen se mohabbat ki

kair maangane aayaa hai

aajamaayish kathin hai imtihaan mushkil hai

lekin hausalaa buland hai lekin

jit hameshaa mohabbat ki huyi hai

sadiyon se yahi hotaa aayaa hai yahi hoga

roshani agar kudaa ko manjur to

ankhiyon ke chiraag jalate hain

kudaa gavaah.
