sahar ne masarrat ka naghma sunaya
faza ne gulistan ka daman sajaya

hawaon ne akhlaq ka git gaea
nigahon se mazi ka parda uthaya

naya sal aaya naya sal aaya
masarrat masarrat ke gun ga rahi hai

musawat ke phul barsa rahi hai
sada-e-salamat-rawi aa rahi hai

zamin muskurai falak muskuraya
naya sal aaya naya sal aaya

ye hindostan ek aawaz hoga
ab insan insan ka dam-saz hoga

nae daur ka phir se aaghaz hoga
naya san nai rut ka paigham laya

naya sal aaya naya sal aaya
tassub ki parchhaiyan ab na hongi

wo pichhli saf-araiyan ab na hongi
zamane mein ruswaiyan ab na hongi

mohabbat ka mahaul har samt chhaya
naya sal aaya naya sal aaya

na aainda aapas mein rakhne padenge
na aainda apni zidon par adenge

'laiq' ab na aapas mein insan ladenge
yakum january ne ye muzhda sunaya

naya sal aaya naya sal aaya
