tu hi is shahr mein hai ek shanasa meri
tū hī is shahr meñ hai ek shanāsā merī
ab kahīñ le ke mujhe chal shab-e-tanhā merī
le gayā saath hī apne vo mere ḳhvāb-o-ḳhayāl
zindagī ab bhī vahī hai tah o baalā merī
us kī āñkhoñ meñ bhī pahchān ke Dore na mile
dil kī dhaḌkan bhī salāmat thī sarāpā merī
maiñ ki apnā hī pata pūchh rahā huuñ sab se
kho ga.ī jaane kahāñ umr-e-guzishta merī
chāñdnī jis ke sarāpā meñ simaT aa.ī thī
aañkh ab bhī hai usī husn kī juuyā merī
ab bhī ik bhiiḌ hai yūsuf ke ḳharīdāroñ kī
ab bhī istāda hai bāzār meñ duniyā merī
dosh par sar kī jagah turra-e-dastār mile
aañkh ab le le koī mujh se ḳhudā-yā merī
tu hi is shahr mein hai ek shanasa meri
ab kahin le ke mujhe chal shab-e-tanha meri
le gaya sath hi apne wo mere KHwab-o-KHayal
zindagi ab bhi wahi hai tah o baala meri
us ki aankhon mein bhi pahchan ke Dore na mile
dil ki dhaDkan bhi salamat thi sarapa meri
main ki apna hi pata puchh raha hun sab se
kho gai jaane kahan umr-e-guzishta meri
chandni jis ke sarapa mein simaT aai thi
aankh ab bhi hai usi husn ki juya meri
ab bhi ek bhiD hai yusuf ke KHaridaron ki
ab bhi istada hai bazar mein duniya meri
dosh par sar ki jagah turra-e-dastar mile
aankh ab le le koi mujh se KHuda-ya meri
