maujon ki jawani mein talatum hai abhi tak
sailab-e-hawa shorishon mein gum hai abhi tak

bahte chale jate hain ye mahke hue dhaare
karte hain ishaare

hanste hain nazare
aabaad hain ab tak mere jhelum ke kinare

ab tak usi andaz se hansti hain fazaen
ab tak usi khushbu se mahakti hain hawaen

aati hain usi taur ghata-top ghataen
ab tak usi mahaul mein palte hain nazare

chand aur sitare
ye nur ke pare

aabaad hain ab tak mere jhelum ke kinare
panghat pe jawan ladkiyan aati hain abhi tak

pariyon ki tarah nachti gati hain abhi tak
hansta hua mahaul basati hain abhi tak

aankhon mein jhalakte hain jawani ke sharare
rangin sitare

masum ishaare
aabaad hain ab tak mere jhelum ke kinare

jamun ke darakhton ki wahi chhanw ghaneri
aur un se zara hat ke mere khet ki beri

ruman ki duniya abhi mahfuz hai meri
in sayon tale hum ne kai pahr guzare

basti se kinare
kya din the hamare

aabaad hain ab tak mere jhelum ke kinare
duniya ne na dekha mera rangin fasana

jhelum ko magar yaad hai shaer ka fasana
parwan chadha hun inhin maujon ke sahaare

dekhe hain nazare
hain zehn mein sare

aabaad hain ab tak mere jhelum ke kinare
