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
