yaad hai.n vo din nifaaq is des me.n aayaa na thaa

dar pai-e-aazaad humaa.e kaa humaayaa na thaa

aah vo din ye ho ai tund jab chaltii na thii

jab sharaab-e-'aish Gam ke jaam me.n Dhaltii na thii

aah vo din hinduu-o-muslim me.n jab baaham thaa pyaar

jab thii iKHlaas-o-mohabbat kii fazaa-e-saazgaar

aah naGme 'iid ke jab mil ke ham gaate rahe

raamliilaa dekhne mil-jul ke ham jaate rahe

shor-e-naaquus-o-azaa.n me.n jab na thaa kuchh imtiyaaz

jab na fitna thaa yahaa.n ko.ii na ko.ii fitna-saaz

jab hamaare dam se thii aan-e-vatan shaan-e-vatan

phaag mil kar khelte the jab javaanaan-e-vatan

taa'zye ko de ke kaa.ndhaa jab the KHush ahl-e-hunuud

jab dasahre me.n musalmaa.n the bajaate cha.ng-o-'uud

haa.n vo din ulfat ke din farhat ke dil-shaadii ke din

vo masarrat kii fazaa.e.n aur vo aazaadii ke din
