ek shahr-ashob ka aaghaz
ab bazm-e-suḳhan sohbat-e-lab-soḳhtagāñ hai
ab halqa-e-mai tā.efā-e-be-talabāñ hai
ghar rahiye to vīrāni-e-dil khāne ko aave
rah chaliye to har gaam pe ġhauġhā-e-sagāñ hai
paivand-e-rah-e-kūcha-e-zar chashm-e-ġhazālāñ
pābos-e-havas afsar-e-shamshād-qadāñ hai
yaañ ahl-e-junūñ yak-ba-digar dast-o-girebāñ
vaañ jaish-e-havas teġh-ba-kaf darpa-e-jāñ hai
ab sāhab-e-insāf hai ḳhud tālib-e-insāf
mohr us kī hai mīzān ba-dast-e-digrāñ hai
ham sahal-talab kaun se farhād the lekin
ab shahr meñ tere koī ham sā bhī kahāñ hai
ab bazm-e-suKHan sohbat-e-lab-soKHtagan hai
ab halqa-e-mai taefa-e-be-talaban hai
ghar rahiye to virani-e-dil khane ko aawe
rah chaliye to har gam pe ghaugha-e-sagan hai
paiwand-e-rah-e-kucha-e-zar chashm-e-ghazalan
pabos-e-hawas afsar-e-shamshad-qadan hai
yan ahl-e-junun yak-ba-digar dast-o-gireban
wan jaish-e-hawas tegh-ba-kaf darpa-e-jaan hai
ab sahab-e-insaf hai KHud talib-e-insaf
mohr us ki hai mizan ba-dast-e-digran hai
hum sahal-talab kaun se farhad the lekin
ab shahr mein tere koi hum sa bhi kahan hai
