nae ek shahr ko subh-e-safar kya le chali mujhko
na.e ik shahr ko sub.h-e-safar kyā le chalī mujh ko
sadā.eñ de rahī hai ek chhoTī sī galī mujh ko
maiñ apnī umr bhar kā chain jab us dar pe chhoḌ aayā
milī hai tab kahīñ jā kar zarā sī be-kalī mujh ko
maiñ qatre gin ke insānoñ kī taqdīreñ banātā huuñ
zarā sī tishna-kāmī ne banā Daalā valī mujh ko
maiñ vo gulshan-gazīda huuñ ki tanhā.ī ke mausam meñ
nahīñ hote agar kāñTe to Dastī hai kalī mujh ko
mohabbat thī use lekin mirā iflās jab dekhā
pareshāñ sī nazar aa.ī vo nāzoñ kī palī mujh ko
'qatīl' ābād jab ghar thā to kyuuñ mujh par kahīñ ġhazleñ
ye ta.ana jaate jaate de ga.ī ik dil-jalī mujh ko
nae ek shahr ko subh-e-safar kya le chali mujh ko
sadaen de rahi hai ek chhoTi si gali mujh ko
main apni umr bhar ka chain jab us dar pe chhoD aaya
mili hai tab kahin ja kar zara si be-kali mujh ko
main qatre gin ke insanon ki taqdiren banata hun
zara si tishna-kaami ne bana Dala wali mujh ko
main wo gulshan-gazida hun ki tanhai ke mausam mein
nahin hote agar kanTe to Dasti hai kali mujh ko
mohabbat thi use lekin mera iflas jab dekha
pareshan si nazar aai wo nazon ki pali mujh ko
'qatil' aabaad jab ghar tha to kyun mujh par kahin ghazlen
ye tana jate jate de gai ek dil-jali mujh ko
