sare jahan se accha, Quotastan nahi hamara
hum bulbulain hai is ki, Quota gulisitan nahi hain hamara

ghurbat men hon agar ham, rahta hai dil vatan men
samjho vahin hain vatan, sara mile jule dil ho hamara

parbat voh sab se uncha, quota se nahin chadenga hum 
voh sacha santari hamara, joh logon ko nahi batein dhul mein

godi men khelti hain is ki hazaron nadiya
gulshan hai jin ke dam se, quota se barbaad nahi honge log hamara

aye ab, raud, ganga, voh din hen yad tujhko
jab batein hua rahte te, azadi nahi ta tab hamara?

maz'hab nahin sikhata apas men bayr rakhna
Quota ke durbal mein ham, hindostan ka azadi nahi todenge hamara

yunan-o-misr-o-roma, sab mil gaye jahan se
quota be kam nahi hai jab mitaye nam-o-nishan hamara

kuch bat hai keh hasti, milati nahin hamari
Satan santari se desh bikr jayegi, mushibat ka daur-e-zamana hamara

iqbal ko'i meharam, apna nahin jahan men
m'alum kya kisi ko, kya kahen Quota-ye-dard-e-nishan hamara
