    maiñ is shahr-e-ḳharābī meñ faqīroñ tarah dar dar phirā barsoñ

    use galiyoñ meñ saḌkoñ par

    gharoñ sard dīvāroñ ke pīchhe DhūñDhtā tanhā

    ki vo mil jaa.e to tohfa use duuñ apnī chāhat

    tamannā merī bar aa.ī ki ik din ek darvāza khulā aur

    maiñ ne dekhā vo shanāsā chāñd chehra

    jo shādābī meñ gulshan thā

    maiñ ik shān-e-gadāyāna liye us taraf lapkā

    to us ne chashm-e-be-parvā ke halke se ishāre se mujhe rokā

    aur apnī zulf ko māthe pe lahrāte hue pūchhā

    kaho ai ajnabī saa.il

    gadā-e-be-sar-o-sāmāñ

    tumheñ kyā chāhiye ham se

    maiñ kahnā chāhtā thā umr guzrī jis chāhat meñ

    vahī jab mil gayā to aur ab

    kyā chāhe mujh ko

    magar taqrīr quvvat na thī mujh meñ

    faqat ik lafz niklā thā laboñ se kāñptā Dartā

    jise ummīd kam thī us ke dil meñ baar paane

    mohabbat lafz thā merā

    magar us ne sunā roTī

    main is shahr-e-KHarabi mein faqiron ki tarah dar dar phira barson

    use galiyon mein saDkon par

    gharon ki sard diwaron ke pichhe DhunDhta tanha

    ki wo mil jae to tohfa use dun apni chahat ka

    tamanna meri bar aai ki ek din ek darwaza khula aur

    main ne dekha wo shanasa chand sa chehra

    jo shadabi mein gulshan tha

    main ek shan-e-gadayana liye us ki taraf lapka

    to us ne chashm-e-be-parwa ke halke se ishaare se mujhe roka

    aur apni zulf ko mathe pe lahraate hue puchha

    kaho ai ajnabi sail

    gada-e-be-sar-o-saman

    tumhein kya chahiye hum se

    main kahna chahta tha umr guzri jis ki chahat mein

    wahi jab mil gaya to aur ab

    kya chahe mujh ko

    magar taqrir ki quwwat na thi mujh mein

    faqat ek lafz nikla tha labon se kanpta Darta

    jise ummid kam thi us ke dil mein bar pane ki

    mohabbat lafz tha mera

    magar us ne suna roTi
