sar chaDh ke bolta hai urdu zaban ka jadu

hindostan ki miTTi ke aasman ka jadu

hindostan ka jadu sare jahan ka jadu

sar chaDh ke bolta hai urdu zaban ka jadu

jap-jap jogiyon ka nara qalandaron ka

tahzib mahfilon ki aur shor mai-kadon ka

kuche mein dilbaron ke hangama aashiqon ka

mashuq ki nigah ke tir-o-kaman ka jadu

dariya hain 'mir'-o-'ghaalib' har lab pe jo rawan hain

'faiz' o 'firaq' aur 'dagh' har dil pe hukmaran hain

aur 'kirshn-chandr' 'manto' zinda kahaniyan hain

lafzon ke aaine mein husn-e-bayan ka jadu

duniya dil-e-ghazal mein mai-KHana ishq ka hai

har ruh wajd mein hai har jism mein nasha hai

mashuq bandagi hai mashuq hi KHuda hai

mandir ki ghanTiyon mein bole azan ka jadu

TuTe hue dilon ko joDe rafugari se

joDe tamam girhen jazbon ki sadgi se

rah jaen dost ban kar aaen jo ajnabi se

daem mohabbaton ke aab-e-rawan ka jadu

hindostan ka jadu sare jahan ka jadu

hindostan ka jadu urdu zaban ka jadu

hindostan ka jadu sare jahan ka jadu

sar chaDh ke bolta hai
