har taraf shor-e-fughan hai koi sunta hi nahin
har taraf shor-e-fuġhāñ hai koī suntā hī nahīñ
qāfila hai ki ravāñ hai koī suntā hī nahīñ
ik sadā pūchhtī rahtī hai koī zinda hai
maiñ kahe jaatā huuñ haañ hai koī suntā hī nahīñ
maiñ jo chup thā hama-tan-gosh thī bastī saarī
ab mire muñh meñ zabāñ hai koī suntā hī nahīñ
dekhne vaale to is shahr meñ yuuñ bhī kam the
ab samā.at bhī girāñ hai koī suntā hī nahīñ
ek hañgāma ki is dil meñ bapā rahtā thā
ab karāñ-tā-ba-karāñ hai koī suntā hī nahīñ
kyā sitam hai ki mire shahr meñ merī āvāz
jaise āvāz-e-sagāñ hai koī suntā hī nahīñ
har taraf shor-e-fughan hai koi sunta hi nahin
qafila hai ki rawan hai koi sunta hi nahin
ek sada puchhti rahti hai koi zinda hai
main kahe jata hun han hai koi sunta hi nahin
main jo chup tha hama-tan-gosh thi basti sari
ab mere munh mein zaban hai koi sunta hi nahin
dekhne wale to is shahr mein yun bhi kam the
ab samaat bhi giran hai koi sunta hi nahin
ek hangama ki is dil mein bapa rahta tha
ab karan-ta-ba-karan hai koi sunta hi nahin
kya sitam hai ki mere shahr mein meri aawaz
jaise aawaz-e-sagan hai koi sunta hi nahin
