Aa payaam-e-ishqara haan
Man aj nigaah-e-naaz mein khaanam
Zabaan-e-yaar-e-man hindi daman
Hindi naa main gaanam

Bedaar huyi kaliyaan
Aur husn huaa raksaan
Sholaa-e-shamaa larazaan
Afasaane kaa unvaan unvaan
Bedaar huyi kaliyaan
Aur husn huaa raksaan
Sholaa-e-shamaa larazaan
Afasaane kaa unvaan unvaan

Zaraa patnage ki aahat huyi
To bhaanp gayi
Shamaa ki lau shamaa ki lau se
Jo uriyaan sitaan ko kaanp gayi

Zali to aisi jali naam kar gayi roshan
Zali to aisi jali naam kar gayi roshan
Bujhi to duniyaa ke aanchal se
Tan ko dhaanp gayi
Shamaa ki lau shamaa ki lau se
Jo uriyaan sitaan ko kaanp gayi.
