    ye shahr hai vo shahr ki jis meñ haiñ be-vaj.h kāmyāb chehre

    yahāñ siyāsat āñdhiyoñ ne miTā diye māhtāb chehre

    fareb khānā na ġham uThānā na un ke saa.e meñ muñh chhupānā

    hazār kāñTe chhupā.e baiThe haiñ shoḳh rañgīñ gulāb chehre

    koī bhī hamdam nahīñ hai sachchā koī bhī sāthī nahīñ hai muḳhlis

    jinheñ tum apnā samajh rahe ho vahī haiñ ḳhāna-ḳharāb chehre

    koī bhī ā.īna-rū nahīñ jo sadāqatoñ shabīh dikhā.e

    ḳhushāmadoñ naqāb ne sab chhupā diye be-naqāb chehre

    koī nayā dard sauñp deñge koī nayā zaḳhm Daal deñge

    kiran kiran haiñ zahr meñ Duube haiñ zāhiran āftāb chehre

    jo paḌh sako to ḳhulūs paḌh lo mirī nigāhoñ sādgī meñ

    jahāñ meñ 'afshāñ' se log kam haiñ hoñ jin ke sachchī kitāb chehre

    ye shahr hai wo shahr ki jis mein hain be-wajh kaamyab chehre

    yahan siyasat ki aandhiyon ne miTa diye mahtab chehre

    fareb khana na gham uThana na un ke sae mein munh chhupana

    hazar kanTe chhupae baiThe hain shoKH rangin gulab chehre

    koi bhi hamdam nahin hai sachcha koi bhi sathi nahin hai muKHlis

    jinhen tum apna samajh rahe ho wahi hain KHana-KHarab chehre

    koi bhi aaina-ru nahin jo sadaqaton ki shabih dikhae

    KHushamadon ki naqab ne sab chhupa diye be-naqab chehre

    koi naya dard saunp denge koi naya zaKHm Dal denge

    kiran kiran hain zahr mein Dube hain zahiran aaftab chehre

    jo paDh sako to KHulus paDh lo meri nigahon ki sadgi mein

    jahan mein 'afshan' se log kam hain hon jin ke sachchi kitab chehre
