Sayyaad ne chhupaayaa
Bebas pe sitam dhaayaa
Koi zor na chal paaye
Qaid me hai bulabul
Qaid me hai bulabul

Sayyaad ne chhupaayaa
Bebas pe sitam dhaayaa
Koi zor na chal paaye
Qaid me hai bulabul
Qaid me hai bulabul

Is bandh kothari mai
Ghut ghut ke mar na jaau
Mai dard apne dil ka
Jaa ke kis ko sunau
Is bandh kothari mai
Ghut ghut ke mar na jaau
Mai dard apne dil ka
Jaa ke kis ko sunau

Bedard salakho se
Mushkil hai bach pana
Is haal mai jeene se
Achha hai mar jaana
Har saans sisakti hai
Khamosh chikhati hai
Har saans sisakti hai
Khamosh chikhati hai
Roti hai bilakti hai
Qaid me hai bulabul
Qaid me hai bulabul

Mai tujhako dhudhataa hun
Galiyon mai chaubaaro me
Cheharaa teraa dekhataa hun
Ashqo ki kataaro me
Mai tujhako dhudhataa hun
Galiyon mai chaubaaro me
Cheharaa teraa dekhataa hun
Ashqo ki kataaro me

Dil meraa kahataa hai
Duniyaa ko jalaa du
Hoke judaa hamaraahi
Apani hasti mitaa du
Mujhe paas bulaati hai
Teri yaad sataati hai
Mujhe paas bulaati hai
Teri yaad sataati hai
Din raat rulaati hai
Qaid me hai bulabul
Qaid me hai bulabul

Khushbu ke jhoke se
Mahaki fizaao me
Udati thi mai bulabul
Chanchal hawaao me
Dharati ke pairo me
Ambar ki baaho me
Sapano ki duniyaa me
Meri nigaaho me
Jharano tale
Machalati thi mai
Girati thi kabhi
Sambhalati thi mai
Saragam koi
Gaati thi mai
Sakhiyo ko bhi
Sunaati thi mai
Nadiyaa kinaare baithi akele
Karati thi mai intazaar

Saare jahaa ko thokar lagaa ke
Aataa thaa milane yaar
Hansati thi gaati thi
Baaho me so jaati thi
Dil ki baato me
Khvaabo me kho jaati thi
Aayaa kahi se shikaari
Zaalim ne jaal bichhaayaa
Band kiyaa pijare me pachhi
Adheraa har or chhaayaa
Bejaan si rahati hai
Kuchh bhi nahi kahati hai
Bejaan si rahati hai
Kuchh bhi nahi kahati hai
Har dard woh sahati hai
Qaid me hai bulabul
Qaid me hai bulabul.
