Irani Talaba Ke Nam
ye kaun saKHi hain
jin ke lahu ki
ashrafiyan chhan-chhan, chhan-chhan,
dharti ke paiham pyase
kashkol mein Dhalti jati hain
kashkol ko bharti hain
ye kaun jawan hain arz-e-ajam
ye lakh-luT
jin ke jismon ki
bharpur jawani ka kundan
yun KHak mein reza reza hai
yun kucha kucha bikhra hai
ai arz-e-ajam, ai arz-e-ajam!
kyun noch ke hans hans phenk diye
un aankhon ne apne nilam
un honTon ne apne marjaan
un hathon ki be-kal chandi
kis kaam aai kis hath lagi
ai puchhne wale pardesi
ye tifl o jawan
us nur ke nau-ras moti hain
us aag ki kachchi kaliyan hain
jis miThe nur aur kaDwi aag
se zulm ki andhi raat mein phuTa
subh-e-baghawat ka gulshan
aur subh hui man-man, tan-tan,
un jismon ka chandi sona
un chehron ke nilam, marjaan,
jag-mag jag-mag ruKHshan ruKHshan
jo dekhna chahe pardesi
pas aae dekhe ji bhar kar
ye zist ki rani ka jhumar
ye amn ki dewi ka kangan!
