apne hi aap mein asir hun main
apne hī aap meñ asiir huuñ maiñ
apne zindāñ meñ be-nazīr huuñ maiñ
ek shahr-e-ḳhayāl hai merā
apne is shahr kā amiir huuñ maiñ
baḌhtā jaatā hai zindagī kā ḳhat
ek ghaTtī huī lakīr huuñ maiñ
kyuuñ bulāte ho ab jahāñ vaalo
ek gosha-nashīñ faqīr huuñ maiñ
qarz is dil pe ulfatoñ ke haiñ
dostoñ kā karam amiir huuñ maiñ
khich ke yuuñ hī kamān meñ huuñ qaid
chhūT jā.ūñ to ek tiir huuñ maiñ
maiñ ne dekhī hai vaqt kī karvaT
mujh ko dekho ki ik basīr huuñ maiñ
apne hi aap mein asir hun main
apne zindan mein be-nazir hun main
ek shahr-e-KHayal hai mera
apne is shahr ka amir hun main
baDhta jata hai zindagi ka KHat
ek ghaTti hui lakir hun main
kyun bulate ho ab jahan walo
ek gosha-nashin faqir hun main
qarz is dil pe ulfaton ke hain
doston ka karam amir hun main
khich ke yun hi kaman mein hun qaid
chhuT jaun to ek tir hun main
main ne dekhi hai waqt ki karwaT
mujh ko dekho ki ek basir hun main
