koshish kar ke dekh le, dariyaa saare, nadiyaa saaree

dil kee lagee naheen buzatee, buzatee har chingaaree



solaa baras kee, baalee umar ko salaam

aye pyaar teree, pahalee najar ko salaam



duniyaa mein sab se pahale, jis ne ye dil diyaa

duniyaa ke sab se pahale, dilabar ko salaam

dil se nikalane waale, raste kaa shukriyaa

dil tak pahuchanee waalee dagar ko salaam



jis mein jawaan hokar, badanaam hum huye

us shahar, us galee, us ghar ko salaam

jisane humei milaayaa, jisane judaa kiyaa

us wakt  us ghadee, us gajar ko salaam



milate rahe yahaan hum  ye hain yahaa likhaa

is likhaawat kee jerojabar ko salaam

saaheel kee ret par yoo laharaa uthhaa ye dil

saagar mein uthhane waalee har lahar ko salaam

in mast gaharee gaharee, aankho kee zeel me

jisane humei dooboyaa, us bhanwar ko salaam

ghoonghat ko tod kar jo sar se sarak gayee

ayesee nigodee dhaanee chunar ko salaam

ulafat ke dushmanon ne koshish hajaar kee

fir bhee naheen zookee jo, us najar ko salaam
