aaj hai roz-e-vasañt ai dostāñ
sarv-qad hai bostāñ ke darmiyāñ
baaġh meñ hai aish-o-ishrat raat din
gul-ruḳhāñ bin na.iiñ guzartī ek din
sab ke tan meñ hai libās-e-kesrī
karte haiñ sad-barg suuñ lab ham-sarī
ḳhūb-rū sab ban rahe haiñ laal zard
baaġh kā bāzār hai is vaqt sard
chāñd jaisā hai shafaq bhītar ayaañ
chehra sab kā az-gulāl ātish-fishāñ
har chhabelī az-libās-e-kesarī
taaza kartī hai bahāre-e-jāfrī
nāchtī gā gā ke holī dam-ba-dam
jyuuñ sabhā indar kī dar bāġh-e-iram
az kabīr-o-rañg-e-kesar aur gulāl
abr chhāyā hai safed-o-zard-o-lāl
jiyūñ jhaḌī har sū hai pichkārī kī dhaar
dauḌtī haiñ nāriyāñ bijlī ke saar
josh-e-ishrat ghar-ba-ghar hai har taraf
nāchtī haiñ sab takalluf-bar-taraf
aaj hai roz-e-wasant ai dostan
sarw-qad hai bostan ke darmiyan
bagh mein hai aish-o-ishrat raat din
gul-ruKHan bin nain guzarti ek din
sab ke tan mein hai libas-e-kesri
karte hain sad-barg sun lab ham-sari
KHub-ru sab ban rahe hain lal zard
bagh ka bazar hai is waqt sard
chand jaisa hai shafaq bhitar ayan
chehra sab ka az-gulal aatish-fishan
har chhabeli az-libas-e-kesari
taza karti hai bahaare-e-jafri
nachti ga ga ke holi dam-ba-dam
jyun sabha indar ki dar bagh-e-iram
az kabir-o-rang-e-kesar aur gulal
abr chhaya hai safed-o-zard-o-lal
jiyun jhaDi har su hai pichkari ki dhaar
dauDti hain nariyan bijli ke sar
josh-e-ishrat ghar-ba-ghar hai har taraf
nachti hain sab takalluf-bar-taraf
