After a long search, I am finally able to locate this. Saying that, I still don’t understand the reason why this is not available anywhere. Is it because that it was the only one which was militarily resisted incorporation into India that all the good and legacy related to this kingdom is wiped out from the memory? I never say Nizam is a great king. But there are some things which placed his name in the annals of history, which we are expected to know – The first country to issue postage stamps having wording in four scripts, one of the only two countries to issue stamps without the country name on the stamps, India’s first government owned airlines, renovation of Ellora and Ajanta caves and many such.
Ta abad khaliq-I-alam ye riyasat rakhe
Tujh ko Osman basad ijlal salamat rakhay
Jaise tu fakhr-I-salateen hai ba fazal-I-yazdan
Yun hi mumtaz tera daur-I-hukumat rakhay
Al-o-aulad ko allah de umr-e-khizari
Unse abad tera khana-e-daulat rakhay
Jod-e-Hatim rahe sharminda-e-ahsan tera
Adl-I-khusrau ko khijal teri adalat rakhey
Khandazan surat-I-gul tere khair khwaah rahen
Ake qadmo pe adu faqr ita’at rakhey
Ban ke saqi tere Iqbal Nizam-e-sabay
Tujh ko sahba kash-I-khumkhana ishrat rakhay.
تا آباد خالق-ا-علم یہ ریاست رکھے
تجھ کو اسمان بصد اجلال سلامت رکھے
جیسے تو فخر-ا-سلاطین ہے بفضل یزداں
یوں ہی ممتاز تیرا دور-ا-حکومت رکھے
ال و اولاد کو الله دے امر-ا-خضری
انسے آباد تیرا کھانا-ا-دولت رکھے
جود-ا-حطیم رہے شرمندہ-ا-احسن تیرا
عدل-ا-خسرو کو خجل تیری عدالت رکھے
خاندان صراط-ا-گل تیرے ہوا کھا رہیں
اکے کدمو پی ادو فرخ اتا’ات رکھے
بن کے ساقی تیرے اقبال نظام-ا-سبے
تجھ کو سبھا کش خمخانہ عشرت رکھے
May the creator bless the kingdom till eternity
And O! Osman, keep you sound and healthy,
And make you live with dignity for a hundred years.
By the grace of God you are the pride of rulers.
May the Almighty keep your rule illustrious.
May God grant long life like khizr to your children
And maintain the continuity of your noble descent.
May the proverbial Hatim’s charity pale before yours
May your sense of justice surpass even that of Khusro
May your wellwishers glow like the full blown flowers
And your enemies acknowledge your superior prowess.
O! Osman, make your tavern an abode of joy and ecstasy

Janab Balakrishna Saheb,
Everyone who loved the Old Hyderabad and considers its history important should be proud of you and what you have shared with the world on your beautiful blog.
I consider myself fortunate that my search for our old national anthem that we used to recite in our schools brought me to your blog. I wanted to end my memories of the
Police Action with that anthem what I am planning to post on CharMinar Connection, a yahoogroup of Hyderabadis. I will give you credit for it and other stuff I borrow from your blog.
I am a retired professor living in Chicago, and planning to visit Hyderabad this winter. It would be fun if we could meet there, or in Chicago anytime you come here.
My father-in-law, Amir Ali Khan Saheb, HCS, was Subedar of Warangal in the ’40s; he retired as Senior Member Board of Revenue, and had become president of All India Pensioners Association.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for the kind words. I am just a carrier and was dutybound to reproduce the anthem when I came across it. If you feel something useful in my blog, please go ahead and use it wherever you want. I will have no complaints, for I believe knowledge stays alive only with spreading. As regarding the anthem, I would recommend you post the text since as far as I know, this is the only site online where this is available(there is a version in some book online but I am not sure if it is still there) and it would be a great disservice if this blog goes down for some reason. There were many good and bad things which happened during that time; it’s time for us to remember all the good and understand why the bad happened. Trying to erase it from collective memory is not going to do anyone any good. It’s upto us to decide whether we should remember the Nizam in the context of Osman Sagar or Azamjahi mills or in the context of Police Action.
Being from Warangal(though I shuffle between Chennai and London), it’s good to know that you have got a Warangal connection. I would be honoured to catch up with you and learn much – after all I am no more older than your grandchildren.
Regards
Balakrishna

I am afraid the 4th line from below is wrong. “Khanda-zann surat-I-gul tere ……………………. (hawa kha rahen) ? You need to correct these 3 words.. Rest is OK.
