[Intro]
Dhol ki thaap, saaz-e-khilafat, mehfil jaagi hai
Rang-e-taraqqi ki roshni se roshan rahti raat hai
[Verse 1]
Galiyon mein bachpan ki awaaz, cricket ki uss khidki se nikalti uasaf
Bojho se bhari mitti, jhanda-e-watan ki har narmi par atak jati hai
Bacho ki hansti, badon ki mashal, sanam se sajti mehfil mein aati hai
Khilaaf-e-dhartein bhi, khadmosh hawa ke sang, dilon ki dhadkan se chalti hai
[Chorus]
Azaadi ki aawaz, mehfil se asmaan tak jaati hai
Fans ki taakeed, khiladiyon ki mehnat ko sajati hai
Des ki shan, uss baat ki tasveer hai jo zindagi ban jaati hai
Cricket ki galiyon mein, hum sab ki pehchan ban jaati hai
[Verse 2]
Riaz se bhare chawalon ki chhaon mein, saanson ki minti si meethas hai
Salsabil se behta junoon, shouq ki aanch ko dil se pehchaan hai
Sham ki roshni mein chaukan ki ghanti, pavittar desh ki shaan ke sang jhilmil
Fans ki duain, players ki lagan, dono mil kar udaan bharte hain
[Pre-Chorus]
Naqsh-e-watan par likhi kahani, har balle par zil-e-azm ki daastaan
Jashn-e-urdu, jashn-e-hind, dono mil kar banate nayi dastaan
[Chorus]
Azaadi ki aawaz, mehfil se asmaan tak jaati hai
Fans ki taakeed, khiladiyon ki mehnat ko sajati hai
Des ki shan, uss baat ki tasveer hai jo zindagi ban jaati hai
Cricket ki galiyon mein, hum sab ki pehchan ban jaati hai
[Bridge]
Shaheedon ki yaad, geeton ki dor mein jhalki roshni ban jaati hai
Parchhon ki chadar tale, awaz-e-maan ki shaal roshan hoti hai
[Chorus]
Azaadi ki aawaz, mehfil se asmaan tak jaati hai
Fans ki taakeed, khiladiyon ki mehnat ko sajati hai
Des ki shan, uss baat ki tasveer hai jo zindagi ban jaati hai
Cricket ki galiyon mein, hum sab ki pehchan ban jaati hai
[Outro]
Watan ki galiyon se le kar stadium ki baithaki tak, rakhna humne wada
Cricket, qurbani, shauq—yahi jagah hai, jahan dilan ki zubaan milti hai
