saare jahāñ se achchhā hindostāñ hamārā
ham bulbuleñ haiñ is kī ye gulsitāñ hamārā
Our Hindustan is better than the whole world.
We are its nightingales, and this land is our garden.
The couplet expresses deep love and pride for the homeland, declaring it unsurpassed. By calling the people “nightingales” and the country a “garden,” it uses a nature metaphor to show a living bond: the land nourishes them, and they, in turn, fill it with song and life. The emotional core is gratitude, belonging, and collective identity.

lahū vatan ke shahīdoñ kā rang laayā hai
uchhal rahā hai zamāne meñ nām-e-āzādī
The blood of the nation’s martyrs has shown its effect and brought its true color to light.
Now, across the world, the very name of freedom is ringing out and rising everywhere.
Firaq Gorakhpuri presents freedom as something made vivid and credible by the martyrs’ blood. “Color” suggests proof, intensity, and a visible reality born from sacrifice. The second line personifies “freedom” as a name that leaps through time, spreading and gaining force. The couplet’s emotional core is pride mixed with reverence for the cost paid to make liberty meaningful.

watan ki KHak se mar kar bhi hum ko uns baqi hai
maza daman-e-madar ka hai is miTTi ke daman mein
