shahr apna hai magar log kahan hain apne
shahr apnā hai magar log kahāñ haiñ apne
kahne sunñe ko zamāñ aur makāñ haiñ apne
ye duā farz samajh kar maiñ kiye jaatā huuñ
ḳhair se ḳhush raheñ ahbāb jahāñ haiñ apne
kab alag thī mirī duniyā se jo jannat chhoTī
koī apnā thā vahāñ aur na yahāñ haiñ apne
aa.ina mez kā apnī kabhī hissa na banā
shahr meñ kahne ko sab shīsha-garāñ haiñ apne
aaj ke saare yaqīñ un ke liye un ke liye
rañg jo badleñ vo asbāb-e-gumāñ haiñ apne
apne chehre kī ḳhabar jin ko nahīñ hai 'afsar'
un kī āñkhoñ pe sabhī aib ayaañ haiñ apne
shahr apna hai magar log kahan hain apne
kahne sunne ko zaman aur makan hain apne
ye dua farz samajh kar main kiye jata hun
KHair se KHush rahen ahbab jahan hain apne
kab alag thi meri duniya se jo jannat chhoTi
koi apna tha wahan aur na yahan hain apne
aaina mez ka apni kabhi hissa na bana
shahr mein kahne ko sab shisha-garan hain apne
aaj ke sare yaqin un ke liye un ke liye
rang jo badlen wo asbab-e-guman hain apne
apne chehre ki KHabar jin ko nahin hai 'afsar'
un ki aankhon pe sabhi aib ayan hain apne
