sham kee lali rat kaa kajal subah kee takadir ho tum
chalta phirta taj mahal sansen leta kashmir ho tum
chalta phirta taj mahal sansen leta kashmir ho tum

saanso me satlaj kee lehare tat chhu lene ko betab
saanso me satlaj kee lehare tat chhu lene ko betab
gaalo me gehu kee khushbu ghunghat me sara punjab ghunghat me sara punjab
rupmati ek bat batayo kis ranjhe kee hir ho tum
ho chalta phirta taj mahal sans leta kashmir ho tum
ho chalta phirta taj mahal sans leta kashmir ho tum

har khushbu har rang tumhi se tumase mausam mausam hai
har khushbu har rang tumhi se tumase mausam mausam hai
har khushbu har rang tumhi se tumase mausam mausam hai
iss bikharee bikharee duniya me yeh rishata bhee kya kam hai

jisake rup kaa saya dole champa par chamelee par
jisake rup kaa saya dole champa par chamelee par
usha sajada karane utare jisakee lal hathelee par
jisakee lal hathelee par
uss dil kee kya kismat hogee jis dil kee jangir ho tum
chalta phirta taj mahal sans leta kashmir ho tum
chalta phirta taj mahal sans leta kashmir ho tum
sham kee lali rat kaa kajal subah kee takdir ho tum
chalta phirta taj mahal sans leta kashmir ho tum

Crimson blush of dusk, kohl of night,
You, the morning's destiny, alight.
A Taj Mahal that walks, breathes, and thrives,
You, the soul of Kashmir, where the spirit survives.
A Taj Mahal that walks, breathes, and thrives,
You, the soul of Kashmir, where the spirit survives.

In breaths, the Satluj's waves that yearn,
To kiss the shores, their lessons to learn.
On cheeks, the wheat's sweet, golden scent,
In veils, the heart of Punjab, heaven-sent.
O beauty, tell me, whose Ranjha’s love?
A Taj Mahal that walks, breathes from above,
You, the soul of Kashmir, where dreams take flight,
A Taj Mahal that walks, breathes, and thrives,
You, the soul of Kashmir, where the spirit survives.

Each scent, each hue, from you they bloom,
From you, the seasons find their room.
In this scattered world, a bond so rare,
Is this not enough, beyond compare?
I, the house's silence, a still frame,
You, a portrait that speaks a burning flame.
A Taj Mahal that walks, breathes, and thrives,
You, the soul of Kashmir, where the spirit survives.

Whose form casts shadows, soft and low,
On champa blooms, and jasmine's glow.
Whose red palms lure the dawn to pray,
Whose red palms lure the dawn to pray,
How blessed the heart, to hold you near,
Whose heart, to hold you, year by year?
A Taj Mahal that walks, breathes, and thrives,
You, the soul of Kashmir, where the spirit survives.
Crimson blush of dusk, kohl of night,
You, the morning's destiny, alight.
A Taj Mahal that walks, breathes, and thrives,
You, the soul of Kashmir, where the spirit survives.
