yaum-e-jamhur
yaum-e-jamhūr tere aane par
naach uThe haiñ masarratoñ ke payām
in ujāloñ meñ zulmateñ to nahīñ
sochte haiñ mire vatan ke avaam
jagmagātā hai vaqt kā chehra
be-basoñ par jahān hañstā hai
apne ruḳh par nahīñ hai mauja-e-nūr
jhoñpaḌī kis tarah ho rashk-e-mahal
jām-e-jamhūriyat to piite haiñ
hasrateñ dam jo toḌ deñ ghuT kar
lekin is meñ nahīñ hai kaif-o-surūr
zindagī kyuuñ na ho shikār-e-ajal
apne hasrat-bhare muqaddar kā
is tarah ham mazāq uḌāte haiñ
ḳhud hī rote haiñ vaqt kā ronā
aur phir ḳhud hī muskurāte haiñ
yaum-e-jamhur tere aane par
nach uThe hain masarraton ke payam
in ujalon mein zulmaten to nahin
sochte hain mere watan ke awam
jagmagata hai waqt ka chehra
be-bason par jahan hansta hai
apne ruKH par nahin hai mauja-e-nur
jhonpaDi kis tarah ho rashk-e-mahal
jam-e-jamhuriyat to pite hain
hasraten dam jo toD den ghuT kar
lekin is mein nahin hai kaif-o-surur
zindagi kyun na ho shikar-e-ajal
apne hasrat-bhare muqaddar ka
is tarah hum mazaq uDate hain
KHud hi rote hain waqt ka rona
aur phir KHud hi muskuraate hain
