phir na.e saal kī sarhad pe khaḌe haiñ ham log

raakh ho jā.egā ye saal bhī hairat kaisī

phir nae sal ki sarhad pe khaDe hain hum log

rakh ho jaega ye sal bhi hairat kaisi

saare sapne bāñdh rakhe haiñ gaThrī meñ

ye gaThrī bhī auroñ meñ baT jā.egī

sare sapne bandh rakhe hain gaThri mein

ye gaThri bhi auron mein baT jaegi

bahkā to bahut bahkā sañbhlā to valī Thahrā

is chāk-garebāñ kā har rang nirālā thā

bahka to bahut bahka sanbhla to wali Thahra

is chaak-gareban ka har rang nirala tha

vo ek raaz! jo muddat se raaz thā hī nahīñ

us ek raaz se parda uThā diyā gayā hai

wo ek raaz! jo muddat se raaz tha hi nahin

us ek raaz se parda uTha diya gaya hai

ek taḳhtī amn ke paiġhām kī

Taañg diije ūñche mīnāroñ ke beach

ek taKHti amn ke paigham ki

Tang dije unche minaron ke beach
