Wo Shahre Mohabbat Jahan Mustafa Hai Lyrics in Hindi

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है
वो सोने से कंकर, वो चाँदी सी मिट्टी
नज़र में बसाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

क़दम जिस ज़मीं पर रखे हैं नबी ने
वहाँ खोल रक्खे हैं दर रौशनी ने
वो गलियाँ जहाँ चलते थे मेरे आक़ा
वहाँ दिल बिछाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

जो पूछा नबी ने कि कुछ घर भी छोड़ा
तो सिद्दीक़-ए-अकबर के होंटों पे आया
वहाँ माल-ओ-दौलत की क्या है हक़ीक़त
जहाँ दिल लुटाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

जो देखा है रू-ए-जमाल-ए-रिसालत
तो बोले ‘उमर, मुस्तफ़ा जान-ए-रहमत !
बड़ी आप से दुश्मनी थी मगर अब
ग़ुलामी में आने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

जिहाद-ए-मोहब्बत की आवाज़ गूँजी
कहा हन्ज़ला ने ये दुल्हन से अपनी
इजाज़त अगर दो तो जाम-ए-शहादत
लबों से लगाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

उधर दीद-ए-आक़ा में हर-दम तड़पते
इधर हर घड़ी माँ की ख़िदमत में रहते
उवैस अपनी हालत बताते भी किस को
मदीने में जाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

सितम का सबब कोई पूछे तो जा कर
कहेंगे बिलाल-ए-हबस मुस्कुरा कर
तड़पते सिसकते हुए उन की ख़ातिर
मेरा जाँ से जाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

सितारों से ये चाँद कहता है हर-दम
तुम्हें क्या बताऊँ दो टुकड़ों का ‘आलम
इशारे में आक़ा के इतना मज़ा था
कि फिर टूट जाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

वो नन्हा सा असग़र, वो एड़ी रगड़ कर
यही कह रहा है वो ख़ैमे में रो कर
ऐ बाबा ! मैं पानी का प्यासा नहीं हूँ
मेरा सर कटाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

जो बच्चे गए बद्र में सब से छुप कर
जिन्हों ने उड़ाया अबू-जहल का सर
ख़ुदा की क़सम उन को दूल्हा बना कर
गले से लगाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

वो आक़ा की मस्जिद, वो आक़ा का गुंबद
वो आक़ा की जाली, वो आक़ा का रौज़ा
तसव्वुर में तस्वीर उन की बना कर
वहीं डूब जाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

‘अजब कैफ़ियत आने लगती है दिल पर
‘अजब बेख़ुदी छाने लगती है दिल पर
मदीने की जब छेड़ दे कोई बातें
तो ना’तें सुनाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

दीवाना ये मुश्क-ओ-हिना का नहीं है
कोई ‘इत्र भी दिल को भाता नहीं है
महकने की ख़ातिर नबी का पसीना
बदन पे लगाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

तुझे देख कर मुस्कुराएगी जन्नत
तेरे गर तलक चल के आएगी जन्नत
कभी देख तो माँ से कह कर, मेरी माँ !
तेरा सर दबाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

जो देखा है आक़ा के क़दमों का पत्थर
तो क्या हाल दिल का बताऊँ, ऐ अज़हर !
कभी सर पे रखने को दिल चाहता है
कभी सर झुकाने को जी चाहता है

वो शहर-ए-मोहब्बत जहाँ मुस्तफ़ा हैं
वहीं घर बनाने को जी चाहता है

English Translation (Verse-by-Verse Meaning)

Understanding the Wo Shahre Mohabbat Jahan Mustafa Hai lyrics in English translation deepens the experience considerably. Here is what each major verse conveys:

Mukhda (Refrain): “That city of love where Mustafa ﷺ resides my heart yearns to make a home right there. Those pebbles of gold, that soil like silver my eyes long to hold that vision forever.”

This opening sets the entire emotional register of the Naat. Madinah is not described through geography but through devotion its very soil elevated to gold and silver by the blessed presence of the Prophet ﷺ.

Verse 1 – The Sacred Streets: “The earth where the Prophet ﷺ placed his blessed feet light itself has opened its doors there. Those lanes where my Master once walked my heart longs to lay itself down in those very streets.”

Verse 2 – Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq ؓ: “When the Prophet ﷺ asked if anything had been left at home, Siddiq-e-Akbar replied from his lips what is the meaning of wealth and riches, in a place where the heart yearns to give everything away?”

This verse references the famous incident of Hijrat (migration) a moment that encapsulates the ultimate sacrifice of the closest companion.

Verse 3 – Hazrat Umar ؓ: “On seeing the blessed face of Prophethood, Umar said: O Mustafa, soul of mercy! I once held great enmity toward you, but now my heart longs to enter into your servitude.”

One of the most powerful stanzas capturing the dramatic transformation of Hazrat Umar ؓ from fierce opponent to devoted servant.

Verse 4 – Hazrat Hanzala ؓ: “The call of the Jihad of love echoed Hanzala said to his bride: if you give permission, the cup of martyrdom is what my lips long to taste.”

Hazrat Hanzala ؓ left his wedding night for the battlefield of Uhud. This verse immortalises that sacrifice without melodrama just quiet, devastating devotion.

Verse 5 – Hazrat Uwais al-Qarani ؓ: “On that side, always yearning for a glimpse of the Master ﷺ; on this side, serving his mother every moment Uwais, to whom could he even describe his state? His heart longs to go to Madinah.”

Uwais al-Qarani ؓ never met the Prophet ﷺ in person yet is counted among the greatest of Tabi’een. This verse captures a longing so pure it transcends physical presence.

Verse 6 – Hazrat Bilal ؓ: “If someone asks the reason for the cruelty he endured Bilal al-Habash will smile and say: writhing and sobbing for his sake, my soul longs to depart.”

The torture of Bilal ؓ described not through outrage but through his own smiling acceptance one of the most emotionally resonant images in the Naat.

Verse 7 – The Moon and the Miracle of Shaqq-ul-Qamar: “The moon constantly tells the stars how do I describe to you the state of being split in two? There was such joy in the Master’s ﷺ single gesture that I long to be split apart again.”

A reference to the miracle of Shaqq-ul-Qamar (splitting of the moon) narrated not as a historical event but as the moon’s own wish to relive that blessed moment.

Verse 8 – Hazrat Ali Asghar ؓ (Karbala): “That little Asghar, scraping his heels, crying in the tent, saying: O father! I am not thirsty for water my head longs to be offered.”

This verse shifts the Naat’s emotional weight entirely. The infant Ali Asghar ؓ at Karbala six months old, killed by an arrow is depicted not as a victim but as a willing participant in the love of the Prophet’s ﷺ lineage. It is one of the most heart-rending verses in Urdu devotional poetry.

Verse 9 – The Young Companions at Badr: “Those young boys who went to Badr secretly, those who struck down Abu Jahl by Allah, my heart longs to embrace them as grooms.”

Verse 10 – The Sacred Mosque and Tomb: “That mosque of the Master ﷺ, that blessed green dome, that sacred lattice, that noble resting place creating a picture of them in my imagination, my heart longs to sink into it forever.”

This is the verse most associated with the visual imagery of Madinah’s Masjid-un-Nabawi.

Verse 11 – The State of the Heart: “A strange rapture begins to descend upon the heart a strange ecstasy starts to overwhelm the soul whenever someone begins to speak of Madinah, the heart longs to recite Naats.”

Verse 12 – Fragrance of the Prophet ﷺ: “This heart is not captivated by musk or henna no perfume pleases this soul at all for the sake of fragrance, my heart longs to apply the blessed perspiration of the Prophet ﷺ upon my body.”

This verse, while startling to modern sensibilities, is rooted in classical Islamic tradition the companions preserved and treasured the blessed fragrance of the Prophet ﷺ.

Verse 13 – Paradise and a Mother’s Service: “Paradise will smile upon seeing you Paradise will walk to your very threshold go and tell your mother, my dear: my heart longs to press her head.”

A tender verse that grounds the spiritual in the deeply personal even at the peak of devotion, a mother’s service is remembered.

Final Verse – The Poet’s Signature: “When I saw the stone blessed by the Master’s ﷺ feet how do I describe the state of my heart, O Azhar! Sometimes the heart longs to place it on my head sometimes it longs to bow before it.”

The poet signs off with his own name a classical convention and does so not with pride but with helplessness. It is a fitting close.

Musical Composition and Vocal Performance

What makes this Naat compositionally distinct is its restraint. The mukhda (refrain) Wo Shahre Mohabbat Jahan Mustafa Hai is structured with a falling cadence that creates an almost aching sense of longing. The internal rhyme scheme across verses is rigorous without being mechanical, and Maulana Azhar Farooqi Barelvi sustains a unified emotional thread across twelve-plus stanzas a feat that few Naat poets achieve.

Tahir Raza Rampuri’s rendition is considered among the most classical. His pacing is deliberate he gives every compound word its full weight. When he reaches verses like the Hanzala stanza or the Ali Asghar verse, he slows further, allowing the imagery to land.

Zohaib Ashrafi’s version is more melodically expressive, with subtle tonal shifts that underline the contrast between verses of historical heroism and verses of personal longing.

Mueen Qadri Bangalore brings a South Indian Urdu pronunciation that softens certain consonants, giving the Naat a different warmth particularly in the verses about Uwais al-Qarani ؓ and the moon.

What unifies all versions is the refrain. No matter who recites it, the line “wahiin ghar banaane ko jee chaahta hai” “my heart longs to make a home right there” carries the same weight. It is a line that compresses an entire lifetime of devotion into seven words.
