sarmast bhi sarshaar bhi hain is ki bahaaren
dilkash bhi tarah-dar bhi hain is ki bahaaren

gul-rang bhi gul-bar bhi hain is ki bahaaren
jannat se bhi bartar hai ye punjab hamara

ye khuld-faza khuld-numa is ke manazir

rishiyon ne yahan gae hain ulfat ke tarane
guruon ne sunae hain haqiqat ke fasane

bhagton ne yahan pae hain qudrat ke khazane

jannat se bhi bartar hai ye punjab hamara
punjab ko hum rausahn-o-pur-nur karenge

punjab ko hum amn se mamur karenge
punjab ko har haal mein masrur karenge

punjab ko hum aur bhi mashhur karenge
jannat se bhi bartar hai ye punjab hamara
