    ek jazīra zamīñ ke siine par

    hai jo ābād raushnī se hai

    jis saḌkoñ pe raat der talak

    zindagī dauḌtī hai bhāgtī hai

    zindagī raat raat jāgtī hai

    chā.e-ḳhānoñ pe shab-guzāroñ ke

    qahqahe gūñjte rahte haiñ

    is shāmeñ hasīn hotī haiñ

    is maqām-e-hasīn ke baasī

    chāshnī hai zabān meñ jin

    pāsbāñ ye amiir ḳhusrau ke

    'mīr'-o-'ġhālib' ke rāzdān-e-suḳhan

    vārisān-e-zabān-e-urdu haiñ

    gholte haiñ miThās bātoñ se

    apnā lahja hasīn rakhte haiñ

    ek tahzīb hai saqāfat hai

    is ke khānoñ apnī lazzat hai

    aur phir husn tamāzat hai

    dekhne vaale dekhte haiñ kahīñ

    is ke sāhil pe raunaq-e-duniyā

    kheltī hañstī ġhul machātī huī

    man-chale hañste muskurāte hue

    zindagī ġhazal sunāte hue

    raunaqoñ ke asiir rahte haiñ

    jis ko kahte the log kolāchi

    ab vo sāhil kināre bastā shahr

    jaanā jaatā hai shahr-e-qā.id se

    log jis ko karāchi kahte haiñ

    ek jazira zamin ke sine par

    hai jo aabaad raushni se hai

    jis ki saDkon pe raat der talak

    zindagi dauDti hai bhagti hai

    zindagi raat raat jagti hai

    chae-KHanon pe shab-guzaron ke

    qahqahe gunjte hi rahte hain

    is ki shamen hasin hoti hain

    is maqam-e-hasin ke basi

    chashni hai zaban mein jin ki

    pasban ye amir KHusrau ke

    'mir'-o-'ghaalib' ke raazdan-e-suKHan

    warisan-e-zaban-e-urdu hain

    gholte hain miThas baaton se

    apna lahja hasin rakhte hain

    ek tahzib hai saqafat hai

    is ke khanon ki apni lazzat hai

    aur phir husn ki tamazat hai

    dekhne wale dekhte hain kahin

    is ke sahil pe raunaq-e-duniya

    khelti hansti ghul machati hui

    man-chale hanste muskuraate hue

    zindagi ki ghazal sunate hue

    raunaqon ke asir rahte hain

    jis ko kahte the log kolachi

    ab wo sahil kinare basta shahr

    jaana jata hai shahr-e-qaid se

    log jis ko karachi kahte hain
