yun aae hain ghir ghir ke ye dukh-dard ke baadal
tarik fazaon mein ghula jaise ho kajal

bechain hain be-tab hain be-as hain bekal
lahra de zara aa ke tu ummid ka aanchal

ai baad-e-saba baad-e-saba baad-e-saba chal
gulshan mein na wo rang na wo rup raha hai

ghunche ki na ab aankh mein wo kaif bhara hai
kab phul ke sine mein dhadakne ki sada hai

sannata sa sannata hai harakat hai na halchal
ai baad-e-saba baad-e-saba baad-e-saba chal

kanton se hai sad-chaak har ek gul ka gareban
har samt se hai bijliyon ki zad mein gulistan

soya hai abhi tan ke chaukhat pe nigahban
dasti hai sawere ko siyah-raat har ek pal

ai baad-e-saba baad-e-saba baad-e-saba chal
tu aae to gulshan ka hasin chehra nikhar jae

har ghuncha mahak jae har ek patta sanwar jae
kumhlae se phulon ka bhi kuchh haal sudhar jae

baqi rahe qismat mein koi kham na koi bal
ai baad-e-saba baad-e-saba baad-e-saba chal

tu aae to phir kaif-o-masarrat ki faza aae
is khak mein jine ka aur marne ka maza aae

sinon mein umang utthe to phir josh naya aae
aur raat ke chehre pe dhalak jae phir aanchal

ai baad-e-saba baad-e-saba baad-e-saba chal
aa ja ki zara shaghl-e-mai-o-jam karenge

kuchh tazkira-e-yar-e-dil-aram karenge
rangin har ek subh har ek sham karenge

aur naghme sunenge hasin-o-shokh aur chanchal
ai baad-e-saba baad-e-saba baad-e-saba chal

ai baad-e-saba chal
