aa kidhar hai tu saqi-e-makhmur
bhar ke de jam-e-baada-e-angur

koi jam-e-sharab aisa pila
jis se shadi kare dil-e-ranjur

ranj-e-geti se dil mukaddar hai
bhar ke de mai se saghar-e-billor

aaj yaum-e-zafar do-shohra hai
talib-e-aish hai dil-e-jamhur

mar kar dew-e-bad ko lanka se
ram aae muzaffar-o-mansur

ram-o-sita awadh mein jab aae
dil-e-kaushalya hua masrur

takht-e-lanka diya wibhishan ko
jab hua qatl rawan-e-maqhur

dil sumitra ka bhi hua khursand
dekha lachhman ka jab rukh-e-pur-nur

kash dashrath bhi zinda hote aaj
tha na ishwar ko ye magar manzur

doston ko ye din mubarak ho
ho mubarak unhen ye aish-o-surur

sal puchhe agar koi kah do
aaj mara hai rawan-e-maghrur
