salam ek payam hai payam ek salam hai
salam phir salam hai payam phir payam hai

tera wajud khas hai mera wajud aam hai
barae-nam hi sahi mera bhi kuchh maqam hai

na dhup hai na chhanw hai na subh hai na sham hai
ye kaun sa dayar hai ye kaun sa maqam hai

salam jaan-o-mal ke muhafizon salam hai
darinda be-lagam hai parinda zer-e-dam hai

na fursat-e-qarar hai na fursat-e-qiyam hai
safar bhi na-tamam hai lagan bhi na-tamam hai

barun-e-mai-kada hi kyon ye rok-tok puchh-tachh
teri taraf se saqiya agarche izn-e-am hai

ye unch-nich zat-pat chhut-chhat bhed-bhaw
tere liye halal hai mere liye haram hai

nigah ka fareb hai nahin kuchh aur dosto
wahi mah-e-tamam hai wahi mah-e-siyam hai
