जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर
Touch on each word to display its meaning
Those Who are Proud of India
ये कूचे , ये नीलाम घर दिलकशी के [ x2 ]
ये लुटते हुए कारवाँ ज़िन्दगी के
कहाँ हैं , कहाँ है , मुहाफ़िज़ ख़ुदी के
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
These lanes, these auction houses of charm
These plundered caravans of life
Where, oh, where, are the guardians of pride?
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?
ये पुर-पेच गलियाँ , ये बदनाम बाज़ार
ये गुमनाम राही , ये सिक्कों की झंकार
ये इस्मत के सौदे , ये सौदों पे तकरार
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
These crooked alleys, these ignominious marketplaces,
these anonymous pedestrians, this jingling of coins,
These bargains of chastity, this wrangling over the bargains,
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?
ये सदियों से बे-ख़्वाब , सहमी सी गलियाँ
ये मसली हुई अधखिली ज़र्द कलियाँ
ये बिकती हुई खोखली रंगरलियां
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
These streets, for centuries dreamless, like frightened,
These livid half-blossomed buds
These artificial reveries for sale
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?
वे उजले दरीचों में पायल की छन-छन
थकी-हारी साँसों पे तबले की धन-धन
ये बेरूह कमरों में खाँसी की ठन-ठन
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
The cham-cham of anklets in illuminated windows
Over the jaded breathings, the dhum-dhum of a tambourine
In the soulless rooms, the thumping of a cough
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?
ये फूलों के गजरे , ये पीकों के छींटे
ये बेबाक नज़रें , ये गुस्ताख़ फ़िक़रे
ये ढलके बदन और ये बीमार चेहरे
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
These garlands of flowers, these betel spits
These shameless looks, these impertinent taunts
These run-down bodies and these sickly faces
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?
यहाँ पीर भी आ चुके हैं , जवान भी
तनोमंद बेटे भी , अब्बा , मियाँ भी
यह बीवी भी है …
यह बीवी भी है और बहन भी है , माँ भी
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
The seniors had come over here already, and now also the young!
Robust sons, and also the father, the husband.
This is a wife too …
This is a wife, and a sister, and a mothers!
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?
मदद चाहती है यह हौवा की बेटी
यशोदा की हमजिंस , राधा की बेटी
पयंबर की उम्मत , ज़ुलयखा की बेटी
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
She needs help, this daughter of Eve
The like of Yashodha, the daughter or Radha,
The community of the Prophet, the daughter of Zulaikha
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?
ज़रा मुल्क के रहबरों को बुलाओ
ये कूचे , ये गलियाँ , यह मंजर दिखाओ
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर उनको लाओ
जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वे कहाँ हैं
कहाँ हैं … [ x3 ]
Please, summon the leaders of the country
show them these lanes, these alleys, this cluster of flowers
Bring those who are proud of India
Those who are proud of India, where are they?
Where are they … [x3]?

jinheN naaz hai hind par (Hindi: जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर, Urdu: جنہیں ناز ہے ہِند پر) "Those Who are Proud of India" is a song played in the 1957 Bollywood film Pyaasa.
The movie is about an Urdu poet, Vijay (interpreted by Guru Dutt) who
struggles against a corrupt and materialistic world, with the setting of post-independence Calcutta.
The song is played while Vijay traverses one of the city's Red Light districts, and it is a plea against the dire conditions of the prostitutes.
The author of the lyrics was Sahir Ludhianvi.
Ludhianvi had previously authored a poem called Chakle, which he modified for the purposes of the movie.
Specifically, the appeal he makes to "those who are proud of India" in the song:
jinheN naaz hai hiNd par vo kahaaN haiN
those who take pride in India, where are they?
In the original poem was the much more complex izafat construction "those who recite prayers to the sanctity/purity of the East/Orient".
sanaa-xvaan-e-taqdiis-e-mashriq kahaaN haiN
those who recite prayers to the purity of the East, where are they?
The playback singer was Mohammed Rafi, and the composer and music director was S.D. Burman.
