raat aankhon mein katne walo shad raho aabaad raho
bar-e-hijr uthane walo shad raho aabaad raho

kachchi umr mein kal ke dukhon se aaj ulajhna thik nahin
pahla sawan bhigne walo shad raho aabaad raho

ab aae ho sare diye jab ek ek kar ke bujh bhi gae
lekin laut ke aane walo shad raho aabaad raho

khana-badoshi ek hunar hai rafta rafta aaega
ranj-e-masafat khinchne walo shad raho aabaad raho

ek dariche se do aankhen roz sadaen deti hain
raat gae ghar lautne walo shad raho aabaad raho

hijr-zadon par khud nahin khulta kis aalam mein rahte hain
haal hamara puchhne walo shad raho aabaad raho
