Ooncha hoon main, girna Nahi chahta
Chahay mann jalay, ya tann jal jayay
Oonchee meree dunya aur yeh khyaal
Keh jalay jo koee, to meree hi balaa se

Oonchi zameen, uss peh oonchay makaan
Aur oonchay hain log; oonchay khayaal…
Par neecha hai dil, aur neecha imaan
Aur neecha zameer;
Uss pe oonchee yeh shaan!

Yeh shaan…
Buhat oonchee hai
Aur mein pareshaan
Keh dil hai, kyoon bejaan?

Rotee meree aankhein
Dil bhar aaya
Ab zindagee hai kahaan?
Aur dil ki lagee…
Paoon mein kahan?

Ho rabba koi na meray dil diyaan qadraan pachaanay
Mein sawaali jidda naeen koi sawaal
Mein jogan ban dar dar phirdee, ai meriyan ramzaan pachaanay
Mein jogan ranjhan di ai chal meray naal…
