Shamali jan chetor shahre kalan ast
Ba Bala-e Saarash mir-e jahan ast
Bia ziarat konem sayed jan agha raa
Hamesha dastagir-e be kasan ast

Chura Kabul tura wairan namodand
Tanat ra be sar o saman namodand
Hazaran qamat durdanat raa
Ba khaak o khoon yaksan namodand

Ki megoyad ke Kabul berobar ast
Ba chawk o jada-ah mardom besya ast
Khabar az halat-e zarash nadari
Ze dast-e top o racket ghar ghar ast

Alah ay Kabul nazadanaye man
Chura atash zadi dar lanaye man
Kashidam salha daag-e ghamat raa
Chura az man gerefti khanaye man

Sarasar-e Kabulam wairana gashta
Hama pir o jawan dewana gashta
Ba jai gul ze khakash khoon beroyad
Ba daani khas o aam afsana gashta

Herat o Balkh o Karwanat kuja shud
Shamali o Badakhshanat kuja shud
Tu roz-e iftikhar-e sharq o budi
Qandahar Ghazni Samanganat kuja shud

Bia mutreb saram naaz digar kon
Dilam tang ast tu awaz digar kon
Digar Kabul kharabt-e nadarad
Ba yadash yakdame saaz-e digar kon

Kabulam saal o nawroze nadarad
Ba tan kalaye zard o zeb nadarad
Ba saal kohna ba ghair az khoon chi didi
Ba sal naw ba juz soze nadarad
