Ai subh-e-watan

ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan
ai ruh-e-bahaar ai jaan-e-chaman

ai mutrib ya ai saqi-e-man
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

le josh-e-junun ki zarbon ne zanjir-e-ghulami toD hi di
jamhur ke sangin panje ne shahi ki kalai moD hi di

tariKH ke KHunin hathon se chhina hai tera simin daman
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

phir lauT ke aaya sadiyon mein iqbaal-o-tarab ka sayyara
kirnon mein ufuq par phir chamka pasti ke andheron ka mara

hairan hairan nazan nazan KHandan KHandan raushan raushan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

dharti ke tabassum se chamke afaq-e-abad ke sayyare
zulmat ke tarannum se phuTe nur-e-abadiyat ke dhaare

zarron ko taghayyur ne baKHsha ek moajiza-e-KHurshid-shikan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

soe hue zarre jag uThe anwar-e-sahar bedar hue
ehsas-e-zamin bedar hua afkar-e-bashar bedar hue

bistar se KHazaf reze uTThe aur lal-o-gohar bedar hue
aankhon ko mila gulzaron ne shaKHon par samar bedar hue

nainon se masti barsati lo jag uThi hasti ki dulhan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

banjar dharti ki nas nas mein paudon ka taKHayyul lahraya
ujDe kheton par saya hai gehun ke sunahri KHoshon ka

har barg-e-fasurda ne khincha doshiza bahaaron ka daman
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

sunsan bayabanon mein hai ek jazba-e-gulshan-arai
viran khanDaron mein leta hai mahlon ka tasawwur angDai

sipi ki ru-pahli jholi mein hain aaj hazaron durr-e-adan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

zarraat mein karwaT lene lage so lala-ruKHsan-o-mah-e-jabin
sangin chaTanon mein jage asnam ke KHadd-o-KHal-e-hasin

hai dair ki kaba kya jaane hai kaun sa aalam zer-e-zamin
masjud nahin hai koi bhi sajde mein magar jhukti hai jabin

naqqash hai teri parchhain aazar hai tere suraj ki kiran
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

aahan ki salabat mein ubhra masum tasawwur narmi ka
phulon ki latafat mein umDa aahan ban jaane ka jazba

qarnon ki KHamoshi ko hasrat hai sail-e-bayan ban jaane ka
sadiyon ki udasi ko zid hai ek nutq-e-jawan ban jaane ka

har sans ke andar ghaltan hai taghir ke sine ki dhaDkan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

parbat parbat sagar sagar parcham apna lahraata hai
mahlon pe milon pe qilon par azmat ke tarane gata hai

gul-bar rida-e-azadi sarshaar jawani ka parcham
ye amn ke naghmon ka mutrib KHamosh baghawat ka ye alam

tahzib ka ye zarrin aanchal tamir ka ye rangin daman
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

qandil-e-sahar nur-e-manzil KHurshid-e-sahar sham-e-sahil
ye KHun-e-shahidan ka maKHzan ye dard-e-rafiqan ka hasil

ye amn ka lahraata gesu ye sidq-o-mohabbat ka darpan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

ab kheton mein gandum hi nahin sona bhi ugega ai saqi
baKHshega taghayyur bhukon ko ek rose mizaj-e-zarraati

ab hire moti uglenge ye bagh-o-sahara koh-o-daman
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

ganw ko sunaenge muzhda ehsar-e-hasin ban jaane ka
zarron ko sandesa denge taDap kar mahr-jabin bin jaane ka

aur tere ufuq ki lali se hote hain sitare bhi raushan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

ab KHak qadam majburon ki barsaegi duniya par sona
ab atlas ki qismat hogi pairahan-e-mehnat-kash hona

paDte hi nigah-e-saiqa-e-zan jal uTThega har nazm-e-kuhan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan

kheton ki zamin unchi ho kar firdaus se rishta joDegi
ab hal ki ani sarmasti mein aakash ke tare toDegi

wo din bhi ab kuchh dur nahin jab sayyare honge aangan
ai subh-e-watan ai subh-e-watan
