shahr ka shahr hua jaan ka pyasa kaisa
shahr kā shahr huā jaan kā pyāsā kaisā
saañs letā hai mire sāmne sahrā kaisā
mire ehsās meñ ye aag bharī hai kis ne
raqs kartā hai mirī ruuh meñ shola kaisā
terī parchhā.īñ huuñ nādān judā.ī kaisī
merī āñkhoñ meñ phirā ḳhauf kā saaya kaisā
apnī āñkhoñ pe tujhe itnā bharosā kyuuñ hai
tere bīmār chale tū hai masīhā kaisā
ye nahīñ yaad ki pahchān hamārī kyā hai
ik tamāshe ke liye svāñg rachāyā kaisā
mat phirī thī ki harīfāna chale duniyā se
sochte ḳhaak ki mavvāj hai dariyā kaisā
sub.h tak raat kī zanjīr pighal jā.egī
log pāgal haiñ sitāroñ se ulajhnā kaisā
dil hī ayyār hai be-vaj.h dhaḌak uThtā hai
varna afsurda havāoñ meñ bulāvā kaisā
aaj ḳhāmosh haiñ hañgāma uThāne vaale
ham nahīñ haiñ to karāchī huā tanhā kaisā
shahr ka shahr hua jaan ka pyasa kaisa
sans leta hai mere samne sahra kaisa
mere ehsas mein ye aag bhari hai kis ne
raqs karta hai meri ruh mein shola kaisa
teri parchhain hun nadan judai kaisi
meri aankhon mein phira KHauf ka saya kaisa
apni aankhon pe tujhe itna bharosa kyun hai
tere bimar chale tu hai masiha kaisa
ye nahin yaad ki pahchan hamari kya hai
ek tamashe ke liye swang rachaya kaisa
mat phiri thi ki harifana chale duniya se
sochte KHak ki mawwaj hai dariya kaisa
subh tak raat ki zanjir pighal jaegi
log pagal hain sitaron se ulajhna kaisa
dil hi ayyar hai be-wajh dhaDak uThta hai
warna afsurda hawaon mein bulawa kaisa
aaj KHamosh hain hangama uThane wale
hum nahin hain to karachi hua tanha kaisa
