Sare jahan se accha hindostan hamara

Saare Jahan Se Achchha (Urdu:سارے جہاں سے اچھا), formal name: Tarana-e-Hindi (Urdu: ترانۂ ہندی "Anthem of the People of Hindustan"), is one of the enduring patriotic poems of the Urdu language. Written for children in the ghazal style of Urdu poetry by poet Muhammad Iqbal, the poem was published in the weekly journal Ittehad on 16 August 1904.[1] Recited by Iqbal the following year at Government College, Lahore, now in Pakistan, it quickly became an anthem of opposition to the British rule in India. The song, an ode to Hindustan—the land comprising present-day Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan—both celebrated and cherished the land even as it lamented its age-old anguish. As Tarana-e-Hindi, it was later published in 1924 in the Urdu book Bang-i-Dara.


Lyrics of Sare Jahan Se Acha :

sare jahan se accha hindostan hamara
ham bulbulain hai is ki, yeh gulsitan hamara

ghurbat men hon agar ham, rahta hai dil vatan men
samjho vahin hamen bhi, dil hain jahan hamara

parbat voh sab se uncha, hamsaya asman ka
voh santari hamara, voh pasban hamara

godi men khelti hain is ki hazaron nadiya
gulshan hai jin ke dam se, rashkejanan hamara

aye ab, raud, ganga, voh din hen yad tujhko
utara tere kinare, jab karvan hamara

mazhab nahin sikhata apas men bayr rakhna
hindvi hai ham, vatan hai hindostan hamara

yunanomisroroma, sab mit. gaye jahan se
ab tak magar hai baqi, namonishan hamara

kuch bat hai keh hasti, mit.ati nahin hamari
sadiyon raha hai dushman, daurezaman hamara

iqbal koi meharam, apna nahin jahan men
malum kya kisi ko, dardenihan hamara.
