Hindostan, Urdu Nazam By Maikash Akbarabadi

KHar-o-KHas ke jhonpaDe miTTi ke bosida makan
jaise andhon ke ishaare jaise gungon ki zaban

jis tarah utre hue chehron pe aansu ke nishan
jis tarah sukhi hui Tahni pe ujDe aashiyan

dagh jin ke saz-o-saman dard jin ka pasban
kya isi duniya mein tu palta hai ai hindostan

ek Dhancha haDDiyon ka ek chalti-phirti lash
jis ko qabristan mein hai zindagani ki talash

jis ke dil ki dhaDkanon mein gham ke phanson ki KHarash
be-kasi jis ka sahaara muflisi jis ki maash

dast-o-bazu jis ke shal jis ka safina pash pash
kya isi ko palti hai madar-e-hindostan

dhup se jhulse hue bachche pe faqon ke sitam
jis ki nannhi si zaban sukhi hui aur aankh nam

jaise kachchi nind se nazuk papoTon par waram
jaise mina-e-tahi ke dil mein fikr-e-besh-o-kam

jaise be-ras phul jaise band muTThi ka bharam
kya isi ko palti hai madar-e-hindostan

is jafa-parwarda ummat ke jafa-parwar imam
qasr-o-aiwan ke pujari zar ke bande-o-ghulam

KHun-e-dahqan se hai rangin jin ki azmat ka maqam
jin ke mazhab mein sadaqat aur hamdardi haram

kya unhin ke hath mein hai teri qismat ki lagam
sharm ai hindostan afsos ai hindostan

ek arman-e-masarrat ek arman-e-qarar
jaise be-payan samundar ke kinare ju-e-bar

jaise registan mein bhaTki hui mauj-e-bahaar
jaise wahmon ki parastish jaise sayon ka shikar

arz par jaise farishte shahr mein jaise ganwar
kya yahi hai iztirab-e-arzu hindostan

ek aah-e-na-rasa begana-e-zauq-e-suKHan
jaise pahli sham ko mahtab ki maddham kiran

jaise ek andhi kunwari ka adhura bankpan
jaise murjhai hui kaliyon mein rudad-e-chaman

jaise ek soe hue kafir ki abru mein shikan
kya yahi hai quwwat-e-fariyaad ai hindostan

ek sisakta sans ek TuTa hua tar-e-rabab
jaise gahri fikr mein pichhle pahar ka mahtab

jaise basi phul ki bu jaise patjhaD ka gulab
jaise din mein chand tare jaise dariya mein habab

jaise diwane ki jannat jaise muflis ka shabab
kya isi ko zindagi kahte hain ai hindostan

maut ki parchhaiyon mein palne wali zindagi
aankhon se bin TimTima kar jaane wali zindagi

zulmaton mein apni aankhen milne wali zindagi
tham kar laghzish ka daman chalne wali zindagi

gham ke sanche mein musalsal Dhalne wali zindagi
kya isi ko zindagi kahte hain ai hindostan

qismaton ke daere mein ghumne wala samaj
Dasne wali ek nagin ek zahrila mizaj

nang-e-hasti sar pe ek auham ki pasti ka taj
muflison se jo liya karti hai gin gin kar KHiraj

dafn ho jata hai jis ke hath se har roz aaj
kya isi ke hath mein hai parcham-e-hindostan

aansuon ke nam se kab tak giraya jaega
nala-o-fariyaad mein kab tak sunaya jaega

ek gahri nind mein kab tak sulaya jaega
parda-e-taqdir mein kab tak chhupaya jaega

tu sataya ja chuka kab tak sataya jaega
jag ai hindostan han jag ai hindostan
