menda ishq vi tu, menda yarr vi tu,
menda deen vi tu, imaan vi tu,
menda jeesm vi tu, menda rooh vi tu
menda kalb vii tu, jind jaan vi tun
menda ishq vi .
ho mende yaar jehra na yaar koi,
menda yar gulab da gul aye,
attar khatuhri, laal-jawahar,
aude kadam kadam da mul hai,
main haan aude baag da mali,
te au meri bulbul aye.
adhe, 'sattar shah', kurban thivan auhe yaar taun,
jadde julfan kharda phull aye.
menda jikr vi tu, menda fikr vi tu,
menda jauk vi tu, vajdan vi tu,
menda sanval meethra, shyam salona,
man mohan jaanan vi tu.
menda ishq vi tu.
o yarr menda pardes gaya,
main kalra vesh karesaan
haar singaar kun satt ghataan,
main soorma mool na paisan,
tutti tand chole wali, main kapde mull na taunsa
gulam faridan.
jadaan yar angann aasi, taddan haar singaar karisaan.
menda dharam vi tu, menda bharam vi tu
menda sharam vi tu, menda shaan vi tu
menda mehndi, kajal, musag vi tu
menda surkhi, bida, paan vi tu
menda ishq vi tu.
lokaan akheya, majne kun.
o teri laila rang di kaali,
majne ye jawab ditta,
"tussan kun, ankh nahin dekhan wali.
chitte wark kuran de,
jehe te shyahi rang di kal.i
gulam faridaan. jehe nal dil arr pave
o gori ho bhaven kaali."
menda kabaa-kibla masjid mimbar
mushaf te kuran vi tu,
mende farz fareeze, hajj zakaatan,
sumosalat azaan vi tu.
menda ishq vi tu.
ayen arz kitta main dilbar nu,
main naukar tu sarkar hove,
husn tede da baag hove,
main maali tu gulzaar hove.
ishq teden da daftar hove,
main munshi tu, iftaar hove
gulam faridaan. o mendi dil aven mangdi,
main gadaagar tu shahukaar hove.
menda mulk, maleer, te maruthalda
rohi-cholistan vi tu
je yaar farid, kabul kare
sarkar vi tu sultan vi tu.
menda ishq vi tu.
