hum shahr-e-mohabbat ko basane mein lage hain
ham shahr-e-mohabbat ko basāne meñ lage haiñ
kuchh log magar aag lagāne meñ lage haiñ
tārīḳh to tārīḳh hai hargiz na miTegī
nādāñ haiñ jo tārīḳh miTāne meñ lage haiñ
afsos ki is jang meñ ab zill-e-ilāhī
ḳhud apne hī lashkar ko harāne meñ lage haiñ
vo hai ki kahānī hī badalne pe tulā hai
aur ham haiñ ki kirdār nibhāne meñ lage haiñ
kuchh dard to zulmat ne diye haiñ hameñ lekin
kuchh zaḳhm charāġhoñ ko jalāne meñ lage haiñ
lauTe haiñ to ab saath faqat gard-e-safar hai
ab jā ke kahīñ hosh Thikāne meñ lage haiñ
jo baat 'nafas' saare zamāne pe 'ayāñ thī
ham haiñ ki vahī baat batāne meñ lage haiñ
hum shahr-e-mohabbat ko basane mein lage hain
kuchh log magar aag lagane mein lage hain
tariKH to tariKH hai hargiz na miTegi
nadan hain jo tariKH miTane mein lage hain
afsos ki is jang mein ab zill-e-ilahi
KHud apne hi lashkar ko harane mein lage hain
wo hai ki kahani hi badalne pe tula hai
aur hum hain ki kirdar nibhane mein lage hain
kuchh dard to zulmat ne diye hain hamein lekin
kuchh zaKHm charaghon ko jalane mein lage hain
lauTe hain to ab sath faqat gard-e-safar hai
ab ja ke kahin hosh Thikane mein lage hain
jo baat 'nafas' sare zamane pe 'ayan thi
hum hain ki wahi baat batane mein lage hain
