    aah! gañgā ye hasīñ paikar-e-billor tirā

    terī har mauj-e-ravāñ jalva-e-maġhrūr tirā

    jaur-e-maġhrib se magar dil hai bahut chuur tirā

    jhāñktā hai tire girdāb se nāsūr tirā

    zulm Dhaa.e haiñ safīnoñ ne sitamgāroñ ke

    zaḳhm ab tak tire siine pe haiñ patvāroñ ke

    mahv rahte the sitāre tirī mai piine meñ

    chāñd muñh dekhtā thā tere ā.īne meñ

    ḳhalvat-e-mahr daraḳhshāñ thī tire siine meñ

    terī tābāniyāñ aatī na thiiñ taḳhmīne meñ

    aaj rotī hai magar terī javānī tujh ko

    khā gayā aa ke yahāñ 'thames' paanī tujh ko

    aah ai koh-e-himāla ke ġhurūr-e-sayyāl

    tere dāman pe kabhī baiThī na thī gard-e-malāl

    muñh tirā poñchhtā thā chāñd sīmīñ rūmāl

    zaḳhm siine pe liye aaj haiñ dhāre tere

    uf kahāñ Duub ga.e chāñd sitāre tere

    reg-e-dozaḳh ko chhupā.e hai qabā ke andar

    haul-nāk aaj hai kitnā ye dahaktā manzar

    shaam shaam nazar aatī hai kyuuñ sāhil par?

    kyuuñ tirī maujoñ se chhante nahīñ anvār-e-sahar?

    raushnī kyuuñ huī jaatī hai gurezāñ tujh se

    kyuuñ añdheroñ ke haiñ lipTe hue tūfāñ tujh se

    aaj sāhil pe nazar aatī hai jaltī huī aag

    ādamiyyat sulagtā hai havāoñ meñ suhāg

    aaj hai sāz-e-siyāsat bhayānak raag

    phan uThā.e hue bal khāte haiñ sho.aloñ ke naag

    aaj insān ko Dastī haiñ havā.eñ terī

    zahr se kitnī haiñ labrez fazā.eñ terī

    aa.ī hai thames se ik mauj-e-ravāñ gaatī huī

    tujh ko āzādī ke paiġhām se bahlātī huī

    ruuh mai-ḳhāna liye shauq ko bahkātī huī

    naaz kartī huī hañstī huī iThlātī huī

    laakh uljhā kareñ zulfoñ meñ ulajhne vaale

    is ke ishvoñ ko samajhte haiñ samajhne vaale

    lekin ai bint-e-himāla tirī azmat qasam

    sail ke sāñche meñ Dhālī huī rif.at qasam

    tere jalvoñ qasam, terī latāfat qasam

    terī maujoñ se ubhartī huī himmat qasam

    ab tirī āñkhoñ ko namnāk na hone deñge

    dāman-e-nāz tirā chaak na hone deñge

    aah! ganga ye hasin paikar-e-billor tera

    teri har mauj-e-rawan jalwa-e-maghrur tera

    jaur-e-maghrib se magar dil hai bahut chur tera

    jhankta hai tere girdab se nasur tera

    zulm Dhae hain safinon ne sitamgaron ke

    zaKHm ab tak tere sine pe hain patwaron ke

    mahw rahte the sitare teri mai pine mein

    chand munh dekhta tha tere hi aaine mein

    KHalwat-e-mahr daraKHshan thi tere sine mein

    teri tabaniyan aati na thin taKHmine mein

    aaj roti hai magar teri jawani tujh ko

    kha gaya aa ke yahan 'thames' ka pani tujh ko

    aah ai koh-e-himala ke ghurur-e-sayyal

    tere daman pe kabhi baiThi na thi gard-e-malal

    munh tera ponchhta tha chand ka simin rumal

    zaKHm sine pe liye aaj hain dhaare tere

    uf kahan Dub gae chand sitare tere

    reg-e-dozaKH ko chhupae hai qaba ke andar

    haul-nak aaj hai kitna ye dahakta manzar

    sham hi sham nazar aati hai kyun sahil par?

    kyun teri maujon se chhante nahin anwar-e-sahar?

    raushni kyun hui jati hai gurezan tujh se

    kyun andheron ke hain lipTe hue tufan tujh se

    aaj sahil pe nazar aati hai jalti hui aag

    aadamiyyat ka sulagta hai hawaon mein suhag

    aaj hai saz-e-siyasat ka bhayanak sa rag

    phan uThae hue bal khate hain shoalon ke nag

    aaj insan ko Dasti hain hawaen teri

    zahr se kitni hain labrez fazaen teri

    aai hai thames se ek mauj-e-rawan gati hui

    tujh ko aazadi ke paigham se bahlati hui

    ruh mai-KHana liye shauq ko bahkati hui

    naz karti hui hansti hui iThlati hui

    lakh uljha karen zulfon mein ulajhne wale

    is ke ishwon ko samajhte hain samajhne wale

    lekin ai bint-e-himala teri azmat ki qasam

    sail ke sanche mein Dhaali hui rifat ki qasam

    tere jalwon ki qasam, teri latafat ki qasam

    teri maujon se ubharti hui himmat ki qasam

    ab teri aankhon ko namnak na hone denge

    daman-e-naz tera chaak na hone denge
