hamari aankhen bhi sahib ajib kitni hain
hamārī āñkheñ bhī sāhib ajiib kitnī haiñ
ki dil jo ro.e to kam-baḳht hañsne lagtī haiñ
tumhāre shahr se chaliye ki tañg-dastī ne
tumhāre shahr kī galiyāñ bhī tañg kar dī haiñ
ye ham haiñ be-hunarāñ dekhiye hunar-mandī
jo koī kaam kareñ ham to poreñ jaltī haiñ
na is kā vasl milā aur na rozgār yahāñ
so pahle hijr-zada the aur ab ke hijratī haiñ
to shāh-zādī ko laa.eñ vo mahv-e-ḳhvāb hai kyā
hameñ yaqīñ nahīñ pariyāñ bhī jhuuT boltī haiñ
hamari aankhen bhi sahib ajib kitni hain
ki dil jo roe to kam-baKHt hansne lagti hain
tumhaare shahr se chaliye ki tang-dasti ne
tumhaare shahr ki galiyan bhi tang kar di hain
ye hum hain be-hunaran dekhiye hunar-mandi
jo koi kaam karen hum to poren jalti hain
na is ka wasl mila aur na rozgar yahan
so pahle hijr-zada the aur ab ke hijrati hain
to shah-zadi ko laen wo mahw-e-KHwab hai kya
hamein yaqin nahin pariyan bhi jhuT bolti hain
