Saare jahaan se achcha

Hindustan hamaara

Hum bulbulain hai iskee

woh gulsitaan hamaara. 

Parbat woh sabse unchaa

Hum saaya aasma kaa

Woh santari hamaara

Woh paasban hamaara.

Godi mein khelti hain

Jiski hazaaron nadiya

Gulshan hai jiske dum se

Rashke - jinan hamaara..

Mazhab nahin sikhaata

Aapas mein bair rakhna

Hindi hain hum, watan hai

Hindustan humaara.
