khilta hua gulab hai 26 january

lamhe nae hain sal naya aarzu nai
himmat nahin hai rah nai justuju nai
lagti hai hum ko aaj har ek guftugu nai
ujla sa aaftab hai chhabbis january


khilta hua gulab hai chhabbis january
jis din bana tha mulk mein aain-e-khush-gawar
apne chaman mein aai thi jis din nai bahaar
jo din hai apni azmat-o-rifat ki yaadgar


us din ka ek bab hai chhabbis january
khilta hua gulab hai chhabbis january
har rah-rau ki lal qile par nazar hai aaj
uncha jahan mein apne tirange ka sar hai aaj


aazadi-e-watan ki khushi auj par hai aaj
raushan hai kaamyab hai chhabbis january
khilta hua gulab hai chhabbis january
dil mein buland hausle rakhte hain naujawan


swaraj mil gaya hai to bachche hain shadman
masrur zindagi hai irade hain kaamran
ek jashn-e-ab-o-tab hai chhabbis january
khilta hua gulab hai chhabbis january
