EK SITARA KHUSHNUMA

TUNE:

Lyricist: C. G. Daeuble

Ek sitaara khushnuma
unka hua rahnuma,
jo masih ko dhoondhate the,
khush the uski raushanee se.
yun, masiha aakhir ko
too hamaara rahbar ho.

Tab ve gaye khurram ho,
usko sijda karne ko;
charani mein jo tha maujood;
aalamon ka hai maabood.
vaise ham bhi ai gafoor,
jhuke tere paak huzoor.

Ladke ko ba khush-dili
tohfa lae qimtee,
tere log bhi ab tujhe
husn e taqaddus se
apne taee be-dil o jaan
nazar karte ai sulataan.

Paaq masih ham ko sada,
raah-e-raast par too chala.
aur jab faanee aalam se
rookhsat hon too jagah de.
jahaan pur jalaal ham ko,
too be parada zaahir ho.
