jab mere shahr ki har sham ne dekha usko

jab mire shahr kī har shaam ne dekhā us ko

kyuuñ na phir mere dar-o-bām ne dekhā us ko

harf-dar-harf mire dil meñ utart aayā hai

mujh se pahle mire ilhām ne dekhā us ko

merī āñkhoñ ne to ik baar hī manzar dekhā

phir har ik lamha-e-dushnām ne dekhā us ko

din Dhale ḳhvāb darīche meñ utar aatā hai

jab bhī dekhā hai yahāñ shaam ne dekhā us ko

jaane kis ḳhvāb kī hairat ne jagā.e rakkhā

phir mirī hasrat-e-nākām ne dekhā us ko

jab mere shahr ki har sham ne dekha us ko

kyun na phir mere dar-o-baam ne dekha us ko

harf-dar-harf mere dil mein utart aaya hai

mujh se pahle mere ilham ne dekha us ko

meri aankhon ne to ek bar hi manzar dekha

phir har ek lamha-e-dushnam ne dekha us ko

din Dhale KHwab dariche mein utar aata hai

jab bhi dekha hai yahan sham ne dekha us ko

jaane kis KHwab ki hairat ne jagae rakkha

phir meri hasrat-e-nakaam ne dekha us ko
