Jis ke aane se rango mein
Jis ke aane se rango mein doob gayee hain shaam
soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam
rang hain sonaa, rup hain chaandee, aankhe hain neelam
honthh hain kaliyaan, daat hain motee, julfe hain resham
jaise gajal hai, jaise kanwal hai, jaise chhalakataa jaam
soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam
palakon kee chhaanw saans kee khushaboo, baahon kaa sandal
maathe kaa sooraj tan ke ujaale, chaal kee ye halachal
jism sunaharaa, chaand saa cheharaa, dil ke liye aaraam
soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam
husn kee malikaa, rup kee raanee, khwaabon kee shahajaadee
jab se milee hai, dil mein huyee hai, khwaabon kee aabaadee
jis ke liye main is duniyaan mein le loo har iljaam
soch rahaa hoo kis se poochhoo, us ladakee kaa naam
