Continuing with the theme of Kashmir as Paradise…
Aye Cheshmay Tamasha Jhoom Zara
Aye Cheshmay Tamasha Jhoom Zara
Ab Waqt e nazara aa pohcha
Kashmir may do din jeenay ko
Kashmir ka mara Aa pohcha
Firdaus kay ghum ho janay ka
Kuch gham na karey
Adam say kaho
Akhir ko tumhari jannat may
Farzand tumhara aa pohcha
