The bulbul sings to the flowers:
'A garden is our land! '
The hyacinth says to the violet,
'Why are you hiding thus?
Come down from the woods to the garden! '
A garden is our land!
Like walls of white marble,
The mountain peaks enclose
A sunny space of emerald green.
A garden is our land!
The early spring has come again
And camped on mountain heights,
And tulips blow in Shalamar.
A garden is our land!
The sweet gift of spring
To fountains, rivulets, streams
And waterfalls is music.
A garden is our land!
Colourful flowers bloom
In gardens and on hill and dale,
In forests, ravines and river banks.
A garden is our land!
Blossoms are everywhere
In orchards and on hills,
And drunken sings the bulbul:
A garden is our land!
Mahjoor, our motherland
Is the loveliest on earth!
Shall we not love her best?
A garden is our land!
