karobari shahron mein zehn-o-dil mashinen hain jism karKHana hai

kārobārī shahroñ meñ zehn-o-dil mashīneñ haiñ jism kārḳhāna hai

jis kī jitnī āmadanī itnā hī baḌā us ke hirs kā dahāna hai

ye shu.ūr-zāde jo manfa.at-guzīda haiñ haif un kī nazroñ meñ

be-ġharaz mulāqāteñ aur ḳhulūs kī bāteñ fe.al-e-ahmaqāna hai

apnī zaat se qurbat apne naam se nisbat apne kaam se raġhbat

apnā ḳhol hī un kā ḳhitta-e-marāsim hai kū-e-dostāna hai

har ḳhushī kī mahfil meñ qahqahe luTāte haiñ ḳhud hī lūTte bhī haiñ

ġham kī majlisoñ meñ bhī sab kā apnā apnā sar apnā apnā shāna hai

jin buland shāḳhoñ par narm-rau havā.eñ haiñ bijliyoñ kā Dar bhī hai

irtiqā ke jañgal meñ hādsāt kī zad par sab kā āshiyāna hai

tarz-e-bāġhbānī meñ shiddat-e-numū-ḳhezī kaise gul khilā.egī

nīm-vā shagūfoñ ke rañg-e-dil-farebī meñ bū-e-tājirāna hai

jagmagāte bām-o-dar jhilmilāte rauzan haiñ chamchamātī dahlīzeñ

zāhirī chamak 'āzim' turra-e-sharāfat hai raunaq-e-zamāna hai

karobari shahron mein zehn-o-dil mashinen hain jism karKHana hai

jis ki jitni aamadani itna hi baDa us ke hirs ka dahana hai

ye shuur-zade jo manfat-guzida hain haif un ki nazron mein

be-gharaz mulaqaten aur KHulus ki baaten feal-e-ahmaqana hai

apni zat se qurbat apne nam se nisbat apne kaam se raghbat

apna KHol hi un ka KHitta-e-marasim hai ku-e-dostana hai

har KHushi ki mahfil mein qahqahe luTate hain KHud hi luTte bhi hain

gham ki majlison mein bhi sab ka apna apna sar apna apna shana hai

jin buland shaKHon par narm-rau hawaen hain bijliyon ka Dar bhi hai

irtiqa ke jangal mein hadsat ki zad par sab ka aashiyana hai

tarz-e-baghbani mein shiddat-e-numu-KHezi kaise gul khilaegi

nim-wa shagufon ke rang-e-dil-farebi mein bu-e-tajirana hai

jagmagate baam-o-dar jhilmilate rauzan hain chamchamati dahlizen

zahiri chamak 'azim' turra-e-sharafat hai raunaq-e-zamana hai
