haiñ shah-e-bahr-o-bar madīne meñ
kyā ġharībī kā Dar madīne meñ
chal ke honā na tū kahīñ betāb
dekh ai chashm-e-tar madīne meñ
zarre zarre meñ hai jamāl un kā
mast hai har nazar madīne meñ
kaash tā-zindagī guzarte raheñ
mere shām-o-sahar madīne meñ
maiñ yahāñ par paḌā huuñ zār-o-nazār
dil hai al-muḳhtasar madīne meñ
kyā kabhī zindagī meñ mumkin hai
shab yahāñ ho sahar madīne meñ
hai ḳhudā se yahī duā 'bahzād'
zindagī ho basar madīne meñ
hain shah-e-bahr-o-bar madine mein
kya gharibi ka Dar madine mein
chal ke hona na tu kahin betab
dekh ai chashm-e-tar madine mein
zarre zarre mein hai jamal un ka
mast hai har nazar madine mein
kash ta-zindagi guzarte rahen
mere sham-o-sahar madine mein
main yahan par paDa hun zar-o-nazar
dil hai al-muKHtasar madine mein
kya kabhi zindagi mein mumkin hai
shab yahan ho sahar madine mein
hai KHuda se yahi dua 'bahzad'
zindagi ho basar madine mein
