Vellai Pookal (in Hindi)

Vellai Pookal (in Hindi)

Saare jahaan mein aman ka aanchal udne do,
Shwet phoolon se gulshan ko khilne do,
sooraj ki gehri kiranon se jag uthein...
pankhudiyaan angadaaiyaan lekar jab uthein,
maasoom bachche uthein mamta ki god se,
pehli muskuraahat se saara aalam hanse,
Saare jahaan....

Baadal aur pavan jo geet gaate hain,
khamoshiyon ki tarah kya voh goonjenge?
nanhi ashkon ki boond kya palakon se behkar,
soofiyon ke hazaar nagme sunaaenge?
aahaa....saare jahaan....

Jab komal ungaliyaan aasmaan ki oar badhein,
aye chaand... kya tum vahan khil sakte ho?
Jab jung khatm ho, jab bebas ho insaan,
koyal ke meethe sur sunaai de to?
aahaa...saare jahaan....


Aman- peace
shwet- white
gulshan- garden
panhudiyaan- flower petals
aalam- worlda
shk- tears
soofiyon- saint poets
nagme- songs
