ye lakhnau ki sar zami
ye lakhnau ki sar zami, ye lakhnau ki sar zami
ye lakhnau ki sar zami, ye lakhnau ki sar zami
ye rang roop ka chaman ye husn-o-ishq ka vatan
yahi to vo mukaam hai jaha avadh ki shaam hai
jawa jawa hasi hasi ye lakhnau ki sar zami
ye lakhnau ki sar zami

shabaab-o-sher ka ye ghar ye ahal-e-ilm ka nagar
hai manzilo ki god me yaha har ek rahguzar
ye shahar laaldaar hai yaha dilo me pyar hai
jidhar nazar uthaaiye bahaar hi bahaar hai
kali kali hai naazani
ye lakhnau ki sar zami, ye lakhnau ki sar zami

yaha ki sab ravaayate adab ki shaahakaar hai
ameer ahl-e-dil yaha gareeb jaa nisaar hai
har ek shaak par yaha hai bulbulo ki chah chahe
gali gali me zindagi kadam kadam pe kah kahe
har ik nazaara hai dilnashi
ye lakhnau ki sar zami, ye lakhnau ki sar zami

yaha ke dost bawafa, mohabbato se aashna
kisike ho gaye agar rahe usike umr bhar
nibhayi apni aan bhi, badhayi dil ki shaan bhi
hai aisa meharbaan bhi kaho to de de jaan bhi
jo dosti ka ho yakin
ye lakhnau ki sar zami, ye lakhnau ki sar zami
ye lakhnau ki sar zami, ye lakhnau ki sar zami
ye lakhnau ki sar zami

This Lucknow, this sacred ground,
This Lucknow, where beauty's found,
Where colors bloom, where love resides,
Where Awadh's evening gently glides.
Young, vibrant, smiles abound,
This Lucknow, hallowed ground.

The home of youth, of poetry's art,
A city of knowledge, a beating heart.
In the lap of journeys, each path unfurls,
A city of rubies, where love swirls.
Wherever eyes may roam, spring's embrace,
Each bud a beauty, time cannot erase.
This Lucknow, this sacred ground.

Here, traditions, a masterpiece of grace,
Rich hearts reside, with humble embrace.
On every branch, the nightingales sing,
In every street, life's echoes ring.
Each sight a delight, a soul's release,
This Lucknow, where love finds its peace.
This Lucknow, this sacred ground.

Here, friends are true, with love they meet,
Once bound, their devotion bittersweet.
They honor vows, their spirits soar,
Kind hearts offer, and give much more.
If trust is there, their souls align,
This Lucknow, forever thine.
This Lucknow, this sacred ground,
This Lucknow, where beauty's found,
This Lucknow, hallowed ground.
