Ghareeb-ul-watan

Agar ghar mera zulmat se bhara na hota

Toh main bhi itni door dhoond ke roshni na aata

Magar

Jab itni door mein chala aaya

Jab anjaane dashto mein khud ko paya

Tab haqeeqat ne mujh ko pyar se samjhaya

“Ghar toh tera bhi beynoor na tha shayad

Kor tere hee ayn mein tha samaya shayad”

Abb yeh aalam hai kee

hum apne hee ghar mein hai mehman banke jaate

Aur padosiyan hamein hamare ghar angan khile phoolon ki kahani hai sunate

Hum suntey toh hai sub magar kehtey kuch nahin

Na aitrzaaz jatatey, na awaaz uthathe

Kyon kee

Agar woh Hubb-ul-watan hum mein jaga hota

Toh aaj Ghareeb-ul-watan hum na kehlatey.
