Azaadi-e-Hind

Himalaya jiski shaan hai

Tehzeeb jiski mahaan hai

Yeh ussi ki daastaan hai

Jo aazaad Hindustaan hai!

Kehte hain ghulaam tha yeh

Pichle do sau saalon tak

Par baat tumhe batlata hun

Yeh ghulaam raha hazaron tak!

Sab se pehle Aariyan aaye

Dravidon ko khaded bhagaye

Saath apne dharam woh laaye

Harrappa-Mohenjo-daro basaye!

Ganga, Yamuna mein woh teyre

Sindh pe lagaaye unhone pehre

Eint-kaanse ka daur chalakar

Pankh diye dharti ko sunehre!

Ved, Upnishad, Puran, Ramayan

Mahabharat o Krishan ke gayan

Geeta se dharam-yudh sikhaya

Kans, Ravan pe bhari Narayan!

Haan daur chala avataaron ka

Dharam, adharam ke waaron ka

Phir khoob yahan rajwade aaye

Yeh daur tha takhte-daaron ka!

Gautam, Ashok Maurya Aaye,

Sikandar ne yaan qadam jamaye

Raaj dobara laane ko phir

Chandragupta, Chanakya aaye!

Saahil pe Arab ke Tajir aaye

Masaalon ki woh khatir aaye

Cheen ne bhi bartan chamkaye

Europe se bhi shaatir aaye!

Sindh pe aaya Ibne Qasim

Islam hua wahan pe nazim

Aman o akhuvat ke naam pe

Dhire dhire badhe marasim!

Ghazni ka Mehmood jo aaya

Sultanon ka daur woh laaya

Ghori, Khilji, Balban aaye

Daulat-abaadi Tughlaq aaya!

Aapas mein na bani sabhon ki

Dawat ban gai tab Mughlon ki

Jo Babar tha desh se bhaaga

Hukumat mili usse mehlon ki!

Humayun, Akbar, bane Maharaj

Jahangir ne dia insaf ka raj

Shahejahan ne ishq ki khatir

Sange mar mar se banaaya Taj!

Haathon se topi see see kar

Aurangzeb raha badh chadkar

Uske baad jo toota Mughalya

Woh aagaye takhte pe utarkar!

Yeh Turkon ke maare the

Tajir dushman hamare the

Dil the inke nag se kaale

Shakal se lagte pyaare the!

Dutch, Francisi, Purtagali

Angrez ban gaye janabe aali

Khoob loota inhone watan ko

Hogaye sab khazaane khaali!

Jaag uthe bangali nawaab

Apne hi the unke kharaab

Mir Jafar Gaddar-e-Abrar

De gaya millat ko azaab!

Tipu ne talwaar utha kar

Angrezon ko dia ghuma kar

Mir Sadiq se dhoka kha kar

Amar hua woh lahu baha kar!

Laxmi, Tope, Mangal aaye

Marathon ne bhi tir chalaye

Shah Zafar ko aage rakh ke

Saare Hindi ladhne aaye!

Khatma Company kahani ka

Raaj chala phir raani ka

Angrezi farmaan ke aage

Kya bas tha Hindustani ka!

Azaad, Bismil, Ashfaq huwe

Bhagat, Raj, Sukh Dev huwe

Desh pe qurban hone ke liye

Dutt, Surya aur Bose huwe!

Phir aaya ek ahimsa waadi

Kapde sidhe saadhe khaadi

Satyagirah ki dor pakadke

Mangi us ne poori aazaadi!

Angrozon pe yun bala aai

Har taraf se yahi sada aai

Inquilab mehka khushbu sa

Jahan bhi hokar saba aai!

Magar abhi zulm ek baki tha

Tukde hona jisme khaaki tha

Nehru Dilli pe raj ka haami

Jinnah ka khwaab paaki tha!

Kehne ko aazaad ho toh gaya

Magar tukde tukde yeh hogaya

Gandhi, Kalam rote rahe aur

Lahu se sharabor yeh hogaya!

Kahaan huwa Aazaad hai Bharat

Yeh hai shikasta kachi imarat

Dehshatgardi har sun tashadud

Siyaasi jumley karte shararat!

Bhrihashtachaar badhane ko

Attiyachaar badhaane ko

Kya huwa azaad hai Bharat?

Balaatkaar badhaane ko!

Mangolon ne loota tha

Afghanon ne loota tha

Gang o jaman ki vaadi ko

Angrezon ne loota tha!

Rishtey naate toot rahe hain

Saare bartan phoot rahe hain

Sirf aur sirf daulat ki khatir

Ghar ke bachche loot rahe hain!

Gar aazaad humein kehlana hai

Toh dushman se ladh jaana hai

Padh likhkar jaan desh ko dein

Yun desh ka qarz chukaana hai!

Phoot rahi hai nayi umang

Aao tum bhi mere sung

Chal rahi hai aaj bhi

Aazaadi ki dusri jung!
