Ye sheher meri jaan, iska naam hai meri pehchaan,

Meri saanson mein basaa, iss hava ka nashaa

, Mera dil, mera pataa, meri shaan,

Dilli hai meri jaan… Dilli hai meri jaan..

Kehti koi kahaani, ye galiyaan ye bastiyaan,

Raahon ko sajaaye pedhon ki daaliyaan,

Sabse hai pyaara sheher hamara

, Mera dil, mera pataa, meri shaan…

Dilli hai meri jaan

Bhagta phir raha har insaan yahaan,

Dil mein hai basaaye jeene ka armaan,

Sabka sahaara, sheher hamara,

Mera dil, mera pataa, meri shaan,

Dilli hai meri jaan…

Sheher voh, jo ghar ban jaye, Ajnabi bhi dost ban jaye,

Sheher voh jo rishta ban jaye Mera ghar, mera pataa,

meri shaan, Dilli… meri jaan.
