ban mein viran thi nazar shahr mein dil rota hai

ban meñ vīrāñ thī nazar shahr meñ dil rotā hai

zindagī se ye mirā dūsrā samjhautā hai

lahlahāte hue ḳhvāboñ se mirī āñkhoñ tak

ratjage kāsht na kar le to vo kab sotā hai

jis ko is fasl meñ honā hai barābar kā sharīk

mere ehsās meñ tanhā.iyāñ kyuuñ botā hai

naam likh likh ke tirā phuul banāne vaalā

aaj phir shabnamīñ āñkhoñ se varaq dhotā hai

tere baḳhshe hue ik ġham kā karishma hai ki ab

jo bhī ġham ho mire meyār se kam hotā hai

so ga.e shahr-e-mohabbat ke sabhī daaġh o charāġh

ek saaya pas-e-dīvār abhī rotā hai

ye bhī ik rañg hai shāyad mirī mahrūmī kā

koī hañs de to mohabbat kā gumāñ hotā hai

ban mein viran thi nazar shahr mein dil rota hai

zindagi se ye mera dusra samjhauta hai

lahlahate hue KHwabon se meri aankhon tak

ratjage kasht na kar le to wo kab sota hai

jis ko is fasl mein hona hai barabar ka sharik

mere ehsas mein tanhaiyan kyun bota hai

nam likh likh ke tera phul banane wala

aaj phir shabnamin aankhon se waraq dhota hai

tere baKHshe hue ek gham ka karishma hai ki ab

jo bhi gham ho mere meyar se kam hota hai

so gae shahr-e-mohabbat ke sabhi dagh o charagh

ek saya pas-e-diwar abhi rota hai

ye bhi ek rang hai shayad meri mahrumi ka

koi hans de to mohabbat ka guman hota hai
