ik hujūm-e-be-karāñ
shahar kī saḌkoñ pe galiyoñ meñ ravāñ
din ke hañgāmoñ ko rakhtā hai javāñ
ek jānib silsila-e-hā-e-imārāt-e-buland
jin ke mīnāre falak se mil ga.e haiñ jā-ba-jā
shahar kī satvat ke azmat ke nishāñ
dūsrī jānib hai bosīda makānoñ kī qatār
muddatoñ se gardish-e-lail-o-nahār
hai us ābādī meñ jin kī nauha-ḳhvāñ
ai karachi ai nigār-e-jāñ-sitāñ
go tire ruḳh par khulī hai chāñdnī
terī galiyoñ meñ añdherī raat hai
ek hujum-e-be-karan
shahar ki saDkon pe galiyon mein rawan
din ke hangamon ko rakhta hai jawan
ek jaanib silsila-e-ha-e-imaraat-e-buland
jin ke minare falak se mil gae hain ja-ba-ja
shahar ki satwat ke azmat ke nishan
dusri jaanib hai bosida makanon ki qatar
muddaton se gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar
hai us aabaadi mein jin ki nauha-KHwan
ai karachi ai nigar-e-jaan-sitan
go tere ruKH par khuli hai chandni
teri galiyon mein andheri raat hai
