Ashkk Girte Rahe, Dhol Bajta Raha

---

Ashkk girte rahe, dhol bajta raha,
Log marte rahe, dhol bajta raha,

Ronqain lag gayi’n, roshni barh gayi,
Khawab jalte rahe, dhol bajta raha,

Kitne lachaar they, kitne be’bas they hum,
Hath milte rahe, dhol bajta raha,

Raqss they maseeha mere dam-be’dum,
Dil tarrapte rahe, dhol bajta raha..
