ye aur baat teri gali mein na aaen hum
ye aur baat terī galī meñ na aa.eñ ham
lekin ye kyā ki shahr tirā chhoḌ jaa.eñ ham
muddat huī hai kū-e-butāñ kī taraf ga.e
āvārgī se dil ko kahāñ tak bachā.eñ ham
shāyad ba-qaid-e-zīst ye saa.at na aa sake
tum dāstān-e-shauq suno aur sunā.eñ ham
be-nūr ho chukī hai bahut shahr kī fazā
tārīk rāstoñ meñ kahīñ kho na jaa.eñ ham
us ke baġhair aaj bahut jī udaas hai
'jālib' chalo kahīñ se use DhūñDh laa.eñ ham
ye aur baat teri gali mein na aaen hum
lekin ye kya ki shahr tera chhoD jaen hum
muddat hui hai ku-e-butan ki taraf gae
aawargi se dil ko kahan tak bachaen hum
shayad ba-qaid-e-zist ye saat na aa sake
tum dastan-e-shauq suno aur sunaen hum
be-nur ho chuki hai bahut shahr ki faza
tarik raston mein kahin kho na jaen hum
us ke baghair aaj bahut ji udas hai
'jalib' chalo kahin se use DhunDh laen hum
