Chishti ne jis zamin me paigam-I-haq sunaya
Nanak ne jis chaman me Wahdat ka git gaya
Tatarion ne jisko apna watan banaya
Jis ne hijarion se dast-I-Arab chhudaya,
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.
-Iqbal
INTERPRETATION
This is the land where Chishti preached the message of truth;
Where nanak sang the song of Unity of God;
Where the Tartars made their home.
And enabled the people of Hijaz to leave the deserts of Arabia.
This is my homeland, this is my homeland.
This country surprised the Greeks
And gave knowledge to the whole world;
God made its soil as rich as diamonds,
And it gave to the world priceless treasures,
This is my homeland, this is my homeland.
