Lahore Lyrics in English Letters (Romanized)
Loki Puchde Daul Lahore Taahi
Kine Buhe Te Kiniya Baariyan Ne
Oda Husan Beyan To Bahar Yaaro
Ki Dssa Ki Khubiyan Bhaariya Ne
Ik Vera Lahore Giya Saan
Mudiya Nahin Main Saavaan
Vaid Hakeem Paye Nabz Pachhaanan
Rog Puchhdiyaan Maavaan...
Yaad Aave Te Raazi Hovaan
Ohde Moh Vich Marda Jaavaan...
Vaid Hakeem Paye Nabz Pachhaanan
Rog Puchhdiyaan Maavaan
Ik Vera Lahore Giya Saan...
Ohi Ne Boohe Baariyaan
Ohi Haveliyan
Ajj Taahi Puchh Rahe Ne
Auna Kad Beliyan
Ohi Ne Boohe Baariyaan
Ohi Haveliyan
Ajj Taahi Puchh Rahe Ne
Auna Kad Beliyan
Deson Aaye Sajjna Taahi
Bhajj Aundiyan Baahwan
Ucche Chadh Ke Vehnde Rehnde
Ajj Vi Apne Raahwan
Khaas Use Main Khich Da Pateya
Khaas Hi Moh Naal Jaavaan...
Desaan Andar Des Bade Ne
Lahore Kitey Na Main Paavaan...
But-kalboot Ne Murhke Aunde
Rooh Othey Reh Jaave
Os Sheher Vich Gall Koi Aisi
Jo Jammiyan Kar Jaave
Asin Te Uthe Jamme Nahin Par
Phir Vi Khich Jehi Aave...
Beetay Di Jad Gall Koi Karda
Dil Kiyon Odar Jaave...
Oh Vichhde Maashooq Sheher Da
Ishq Haddan Nu Khaave,
Akh Khuli Taan Yaad Aa Jaave,
Raatin Supna Aave
Mainu Raati Supna Aave
Saada Othey Ki Reh Giya
Mera Othey Ki Reh Giya
Ki-ki Khol Sunavaan...
Vaid Hakeem Paye Nabz Pachhaanan
Rog Puchhdiyaan Maavaan
Ik Vera Lahore Giya Saan...
