Tarana-I-Hind
By
'Iqbal'
Sare Jahan se achachha Hindustan hamara,
hum bulbulen hainiski yeh gulistan hamara!
Ghurbat men hon agar ham rehta hai dil watan men,
Samjho wahin hamen bhi dil ho jahan hamara!
Parbat woh sab se uncha hamsaya aasmaan ka,
woh santari hamara, woh pasban hamara!
Godi men khelti hain iski hazaron nadiyan,
Gulshan hai jinke dam se rashke jinan hamara
Aiy ab-e-rood-i-ganga ! woh din hain yaad tujhko,
utra tere kinare jab karavan hamara!
Mazhab nahin sikhata apas men bair rakhna
Hindi hain ham watan hai Hindustan hamara!
Yunan-o-misr-o-Roma sab mit gaye jahan se,
ab tak magar hai baqi nam-o-nishaan hamara!
Kuchh bat hai ki hasti mitthi nahin hamari,
sadiyon raha hai dushman daur-i-zaman hamara
Iqbal! koi mehram apna nahin jahan men
Ma'loom kya kisi ko dard-i-nihan hamara!

National Song of India
The best in the world
our India!
In its gardens of delight
we are the nightingales.
Although in far-off lands,
driven by our desire
we reach you in spirit.
The world's highest mountain
is our sentinel, our protector, heaven's confidante.
And prancing on your lap
a thousand rivers
make you a garden-country, outrivalling heaven.
o flowing waters of the river Ganges!
Do you recall the times
when our caravan pitched its tents
upon your banks?
religion does not teach
mutual discord.
strug on a single strand
we are one
we are Indians.
Rome, Greece, Egypt have become reduced to relics
of dead civilizations;
only India remains.
threatened for centuries
by world powers
our civilization still flourishes.
Iqbal! you have no kindred soul.
Who will understand the pain concealed within your heart?
