jis ke aane se rango mein doob gayee hain shaam

soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam



rang hain sonaa, rup hain chaandee, aankhe hain neelam

honthh hain kaliyaan, daat hain motee, julfe hain resham

jaise gajal hai, jaise kanwal hai, jaise chhalakataa jaam

soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam



palakon kee chhaanw  saans kee khushaboo, baahon kaa sandal

maathe kaa sooraj  tan ke ujaale, chaal kee ye halachal

jism sunaharaa, chaand saa cheharaa, dil ke liye aaraam

soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam



husn kee malikaa, rup kee raanee, khwaabon kee shahajaadee

jab se milee hai, dil mein huyee hai, khwaabon kee aabaadee

jis ke liye main is duniyaan mein le loo har iljaam

soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam
