Original Nathiagali , Pakistan, height above sea level 8500 feet

Aata hai yaad mujh ko guzra hua zamana

Wo baagh ki baharein, wo sab ka chai chahana

Aazaadian kahan wo ab apne ghonsle ki Apni khushi se aana apni khushi se jaana

Lagti hai chot dil par aata hai yaad jis dam

Shabnam ke aaansooaon par kalyaon ka muskuraana

Wo pyari pyari surat wo kaamni si murat

Aabaad jis ke dam se tha mera aashiyaana

Aati nahi aawaazein uski mere pinjre me Hoti meri rehaayee kaash mere bas me

Kya badnaseeb hoon mai ghar ko taras raha hoon

Saathi to hai watan me mai khaid me pada hoon

Aayee bahar, kalyan phoolaon ke hans rahi hai Mai is andhere ghar me kismat ko ro raha hoon

Is khaid ka Elaahi dukhda kis ko sunaaoon Darr hai ke yehi pinjre me gham se na mar jaaoon

Jab se chaman choota ye haal ho gaya hai

Dil gham ko kha raha hai gham dil ko kha raha hai

Gaana is ko samajh kar khush ho na sunne waale

Dhukhe huye dil ki faryaad ye saada hai

Azaad mujh ko karde o khaid karne waale Mai be zubaan hoon khaidi, tu chod kar du'a le

Iqbal Lahori
