zalzalon ne kiya yun shahr ko mismar ki bas
zalzaloñ ne kiyā yuuñ shahr ko mismār ki bas
chīḳh uThe ḳhauf se bām-o-dar-o-dīvār ki bas
bārisheñ le ga.ī haiñ saarā asāsa merā
mehrbāñ itnā huā abr-e-guhar-bār ki bas
ab kisī dil meñ nahīñ mimbar-o-mehrāb kā ḳhabt
aise badnām hue jubba-o-dastār ki bas
itnī mai bhī na milī hoñT zarā tar karte
apnī taqdīr pe vo ro.e haiñ mai-ḳhvār ki bas
shahr-e-taḳhrīb meñ kyā ḳhvāhish ta.amīr kareñ
aise tārāj hue kūcha-o-bāzār ki bas
ab ke ḳhurshīd ne barsā.ī hai vo tārīkī
sar-barahna nikal aa.ī hai shab-e-tār ki bas
zulm vo zulm ajal DhūñDhtī phirtī hai panah
sabr vo sabr ki sharminda hai āzār ki bas
yār-o-aġhyār ne dekhā hai ta.ajjub se bahut
'mohsin'-ehsāñ pe thī vo tīroñ kī bauchhār ki bas
zalzalon ne kiya yun shahr ko mismar ki bas
chiKH uThe KHauf se baam-o-dar-o-diwar ki bas
barishen le gai hain sara asasa mera
mehrban itna hua abr-e-guhar-bar ki bas
ab kisi dil mein nahin mimbar-o-mehrab ka KHabt
aise badnam hue jubba-o-dastar ki bas
itni mai bhi na mili honT zara tar karte
apni taqdir pe wo roe hain mai-KHwar ki bas
shahr-e-taKHrib mein kya KHwahish tamir karen
aise taraj hue kucha-o-bazar ki bas
ab ke KHurshid ne barsai hai wo tariki
sar-barahna nikal aai hai shab-e-tar ki bas
zulm wo zulm ajal DhunDhti phirti hai panah
sabr wo sabr ki sharminda hai aazar ki bas
yar-o-aghyar ne dekha hai tajjub se bahut
'mohsin'-ehsan pe thi wo tiron ki bauchhaar ki bas
