    raushnī se bharā ik shahr dekhiye

    dil meñ saare añdhere chhupā.e hue

    kone meñ katre meñ kachre ke Dhere

    saḌī tang galiyoñ meñ badbū ke Dere

    dhasaktī dīvāroñ ke pur-ḳhauf ghere

    thakī zard āñkhoñ ke bīmār chehre

    jin ko sadiyāñ huiiñ muskurā.e hue

    raushnī se bharā ik shahr

    jahāñ naunihāloñ meñ bachpan nahīñ hai

    javānī jahāñ khilkhilātī nahīñ hai

    jahāñ aadmī aadmī nahīñ hai

    jahāñ zindagī zindagī nahīñ hai

    ḳhushī chhup ga.ī muñh churā.e hue

    raushnī se bharā ik shahr

    irādoñ se ūñchī imārat jahāñ pe

    sadiyoñ se lambī haiñ saḌkeñ jahāñ pe

    bhaTakte hue phir bhī haiñ sab yahāñ pe

    ye kis shahr hai haiñ kyuuñ sab yahāñ pe

    ki hausle sab ke haiñ charmarā.e hue

    raushnī se bharā ik shahar

    ye hiire byopār shīshe se kar deñ

    ye maaoñ ko biibī ko nīlam kar deñ

    milāte hue haath kab vaar kar deñ

    do Take meñ ye bastī ko barbād kar deñ

    sāhab-e-dahr ban ke phirte haiñ ye jo

    ḳhazāne haiñ sab ke churā.e hue

    raushnī se bharā ik shahr

    raushnī ke tale un añdheroñ meñ gum

    sahte hue laakh zulm-o-sitam

    sahī log bhī haiñ vale haiñ ye kam

    jo koshish meñ haiñ ki miTā deñ ye tam

    ummīdeñ sabhī un se haiñ lagā.e hue

    raushnī se bharā ik shahr

    raushni se bhara ek shahr dekhiye

    dil mein sare andhere chhupae hue

    kone mein katre mein kachre ke Dhere

    saDi tang galiyon mein badbu ke Dere

    dhasakti diwaron ke pur-KHauf ghere

    thaki zard aankhon ke bimar chehre

    jin ko sadiyan huin muskurae hue

    raushni se bhara ek shahr

    jahan naunihaalon mein bachpan nahin hai

    jawani jahan khilkhilati nahin hai

    jahan aadmi aadmi sa nahin hai

    jahan zindagi zindagi hi nahin hai

    KHushi chhup gai munh churae hue

    raushni se bhara ek shahr

    iradon se unchi imarat jahan pe

    sadiyon se lambi hain saDken jahan pe

    bhaTakte hue phir bhi hain sab yahan pe

    ye kis ka shahr hai hain kyun sab yahan pe

    ki hausle sab ke hain charmarae hue

    raushni se bhara ek shahar

    ye hire ka byopar shishe se kar den

    ye maon ko bibi ko nilam kar den

    milate hue hath kab war kar den

    do Take mein ye basti ko barbaad kar den

    sahab-e-dahr ban ke phirte hain ye jo

    KHazane hain sab ke churae hue

    raushni se bhara ek shahr

    raushni ke tale un andheron mein gum

    sahte hue lakh zulm-o-sitam

    sahi log bhi hain wale hain ye kam

    jo koshish mein hain ki miTa den ye tam

    ummiden sabhi un se hain lagae hue

    raushni se bhara ek shahr
