aaj aakhan waris shah nu,
kiton kabraan vichchon bol,
te aaj kitab-e ishq daa
koi aglaa varkaa phol
ik roi si dhee punjaab di,
tuun likh likh maare vain,
aaj lakhaan dheeaan rondian,
tainun waris shah nun kahen
uthh dardmandaan dia dardiaa,
uthh takk apnaa punjab
aaj bele lashaan bichhiaan
te lahu dii bharii chenab
kise ne panjan panian vichch dittii zahar ralaa
te unhaan paniiaan dharat nuun dittaa paanii laa
is zarkhez zamiin de luun luun phuttia zaher
gitth gitth charhiaan laalian fuut fuut charhiaa kaher
veh valliissii hwa pher, van van vaggii jaa,
ohne har ik vans di vanjhalii ditti naag banaa
pehlaa dang madaarian, mantar gaye gwaach,
dooje dang di lagg gayii, jane khane nu laag
laagaan kiile lok munh, bus phir dang hi dang,
palo palii punjaab de, neele pae gaye ang
galeyon tutte geet phir,
takaleon tuttii tand,
trinjanon tuttiaan saheliaan, charakhrre ghuukar band
sane sej de beriaan,
luddan dittiaan rohr,
sane daliaan peengh aj,
piplaan dittii tor
jitthe vajdii sii phuuk pyaar dii,
ve oh vanjhalii gayii guaach
raanjhe de sab veer aaj,
bhul gaye uhadii jaach
dhartii te lahoo varsiyaa,
kabraan paiaan choan,
preet diaan shaahzaadiaan,
aaj vichch mazaaraan roan
aaj sabbhe qaido ban gaye,
husn ishq de chor
aaj kitthon liaaiye labbh ke
waris shah ik hor
aaj aakhan waris shah nu,
kiton kabraan vichchon bol,
te aaj kitaab-e ishq daa,
koi aglaa varkaa phol
