aae the tere shahr mein kitni lagan se hum
aa.e the tere shahr meñ kitnī lagan se ham
mansūb ho sake na tirī anjuman se ham
bezār aa na jaa.eñ ġham-e-jān-o-tan se ham
apne vatan meñ rah ke bhī haiñ be-vatan se ham
yuuñ be-ruḳhī se pesh na aa ahl-e-dil ke saath
uTh kar chale na jaa.eñ tirī anjuman se ham
ye sar-kashī junūñ nahīñ pindār-e-ishq hai
guzre haiñ daar se bhī usī bāñkpan se ham
mehr-o-mah-o-nujūm kī mānind roz-o-shab
har jaur-e-āsmāñ pe rahe ḳhanda-zan se ham
milte haiñ roz dast-e-sabā se payām-e-gul
zindāñ meñ bhī qarīb haiñ ahl-e-chaman se ham
'shā.ir' adab ke mohtasiboñ ko ḳhabar nahīñ
kyā kaam le rahe haiñ taġhazzul ke fan se ham
aae the tere shahr mein kitni lagan se hum
mansub ho sake na teri anjuman se hum
bezar aa na jaen gham-e-jaan-o-tan se hum
apne watan mein rah ke bhi hain be-watan se hum
yun be-ruKHi se pesh na aa ahl-e-dil ke sath
uTh kar chale na jaen teri anjuman se hum
ye sar-kashi junun nahin pindar-e-ishq hai
guzre hain dar se bhi usi bankpan se hum
mehr-o-mah-o-nujum ki manind roz-o-shab
har jaur-e-asman pe rahe KHanda-zan se hum
milte hain roz dast-e-saba se payam-e-gul
zindan mein bhi qarib hain ahl-e-chaman se hum
'shair' adab ke mohtasibon ko KHabar nahin
kya kaam le rahe hain taghazzul ke fan se hum
