Chishti ne jis zamin mein paigam-i-haq sunaya Nanak ne jis chaman mein wahdat ka geeth gaya Tatarion ne jisko apna watan banaya Jis ne hijazion se dasht-e-arab chhuraya, Mera watan wohi hai, mera watan wohi hai.
Yunanion ko jis ne hairan kar diya tha, Sare jahan ko jis ne ilm-o-hunar diya tha Mitti ko jiski haq ne zar ka asar diya tha Duniya ka jisne daman heeron se bhar diya tha Mera watan wohi hai, mera watan wohi hai.
