Madina Jaane Ko Dil Karta Hai — Full Naat Lyrics in Urdu
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے
نبی کے در پہ جانا ہے
شفاعت کا بہانہ ہے
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے
وہاں کے گلیوں میں جانا ہے
گلستاں میں نہانا ہے
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے
وہاں گنبد ہے سبز رنگ
جہاں رحمت ہے بے سنگ
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے
وہاں روتے ہیں گناہگار
بہتی ہے آنکھوں سے دھار
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے
وہاں بخشش کا سامان ہے
ہر دکھ کا وہاں علاج ہے
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے
وہاں آقا کا روضہ ہے
جہاں سارا ہے جلوہ ہے
مدینہ جانے کو دل کرتا ہے

Wahan Aaqa ka roza hai
Jahan saara hai jalwa hai

Meaning and Background
This naat captures the deep spiritual longing that every Muslim feels for Madina Munawwarah, the city of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The repeated refrain “Madina jaane ko dil karta hai” (My heart yearns to go to Madina) reflects an emotional and spiritual pull that transcends time and distance.
The poet describes the deep desire to visit the Prophet’s mosque, to stand at his blessed grave, and to seek intercession (shafa’at). The green dome (gumbad-e-sabz) of Masjid-e-Nabawi is mentioned as a symbol of divine mercy and blessing.
There is a beautiful contrast in the poem: the sinners weeping in repentance and the boundless mercy they hope to receive. This reflects the Islamic teaching that the Prophet’s city is a place of spiritual healing and forgiveness.
