alavidaaaan daa hajuum !

dhaar ke dharvaas ambar de niaan vich,
Thilh piaa koii hanere de jhanaan vich
chiirdaa turiaa giaa varjit churaahe,
pandh saanval jo sadaa pretaan ne gaahe
aas de sandeh siine 'cha samaale,

supan de sansaar mere alavidaa
umar de har saal mere alavidaa !
aauN vaale kaal mere alavidaa!
