shahr ka shahr salibon se saja hai ab ke
shahr kā shahr salīboñ se sajā hai ab ke
un kī aamad kā har andāz nayā hai ab ke
qāfila qāfila maqtal kī taraf jā.eñge log
shoḳh pahle se bahut rañg-e-hinā hai ab ke
ye to sach hai vo isī raah se guzreñge magar
koī dekhe na inheñ hukm huā hai ab ke
aao jī bhar ke gale mil leñ rafīqo ham aaj
qatl kī shakl meñ in.ām-e-vafā hai ab ke
mausam-e-gul tire sadqe tirī aamad ke nisār
dekh mujh se mirā saaya bhī judā hai ab ke
ek qatra nahīñ detī hai guzar jaatī hai
jo bhī uThtī hai ghaTā aisī ghaTā hai ab ke
dosto zikr-e-ruḳh-e-yār se ġhāfil na raho
dasht-e-zulmāt meñ mahtāb luTā hai ab ke
shahr ka shahr salibon se saja hai ab ke
un ki aamad ka har andaz naya hai ab ke
qafila qafila maqtal ki taraf jaenge log
shoKH pahle se bahut rang-e-hina hai ab ke
ye to sach hai wo isi rah se guzrenge magar
koi dekhe na inhen hukm hua hai ab ke
aao ji bhar ke gale mil len rafiqo hum aaj
qatl ki shakl mein inam-e-wafa hai ab ke
mausam-e-gul tere sadqe teri aamad ke nisar
dekh mujh se mera saya bhi juda hai ab ke
ek qatra nahin deti hai guzar jati hai
jo bhi uThti hai ghaTa aisi ghaTa hai ab ke
dosto zikr-e-ruKH-e-yar se ghafil na raho
dasht-e-zulmat mein mahtab luTa hai ab ke
