aaj ka din kaisa ba-raunaq hai bachcho wah wah
mard budhe hon ki bachche ja rahe hain eid-gah

aaj ka din hum ne paya roze rakh kar ek mah
roza-daron ke liye allah ka inam hai

aaj ka din hai khushi ka id jis ka nam
chand dekha hum ne kal suraj ke chhup jaane ke baad

chhup gaya phir wo bhi jaldi jalwa dikhlane ke baad
hum ne chilla kar kaha masjid se ghar aane ke baad

id kal hi ho rahi hai ittilaa-e-am hai
aaj ka din hai khushi ka id jis ka nam hai

nind bhi aae nahin jage khushi mein raat bhar
aane wali subh par thi bas tasawwur ki nazar

hum ne koshish bhi nahin ki nind ki ye man kar
rat-jage ke roz aakhir nind ka kya kaam hai

aaj ka din hai khushi ka id jis ka nam hai
ghusl kar ke aaj pahne hum ne wo kapde nae

id ke din ke liye hi the jo silwae gae
sath mein abbu ke hum bhi eid-gah rukhsat hue

hum ne dekha har zaban par zikr-e-rab har gam hai
aaj ka din hai khushi ka id jis ka nam hai

aaj phulon ki tarah sab ke hi chehre the khile
di mubarakbaad un ko bhi the ki jin se gile

koi apna ho paraya ho gale sab se mile
mel ho sab se yahi to maqsad-e-islam hai

aaj ka din hai khushi ka id jis ka nam hai
id ka khana tha subhan-allah kaisa la-jawab

thin siwaiyan qorma shir aur biryani kabab
hum uthe khush-zaeqa khanon se ho kar faizyab

dish sewaiyon ki bahut marghub khas-o-am hai
aaj ka din hai khushi ka id jis ka nam hai

koi daulat-mand insan ho ki ho koi gharib
koi rishte-dar ham-saya ho ya koi raqib

id wo hai jis mein hasil ho khushi sab ko nasib
dar-haqiqat id ka 'sahil' yahi paigham hai

aaj ka din hai khushi ka id jis ka nam hai
