sat.h-e-dariyā kā ye saffāk sukūñ hai dhokā

ye tirī naav kisī vaqt Dubo saktā hai

sath-e-dariya ka ye saffak sukun hai dhoka

ye teri naw kisi waqt Dubo sakta hai

mujh sā anjān kisī moḌ pe kho saktā hai

hādsa koī bhī is shahr meñ ho saktā hai

mujh sa anjaan kisi moD pe kho sakta hai

hadsa koi bhi is shahr mein ho sakta hai

bahār ab ke jo guzrī to phir na aa.egī

bichhaḌne vaale bichhaḌte samay ye kah ga.e haiñ

bahaar ab ke jo guzri to phir na aaegi

bichhaDne wale bichhaDte samay ye kah gae hain

phir us kī yaad ne dastak dil-e-hazīñ par dī

phir āñsuoñ meñ nihāñ us ke ḳhad-o-ḳhāl hue

phir us ki yaad ne dastak dil-e-hazin par di

phir aansuon mein nihan us ke KHad-o-KHal hue

maiñ kahāñ aur kahāñ shā.erī maiñ ne to faqat

majlis-e-sher bapā kī to tumhāre liye kī

main kahan aur kahan shaeri main ne to faqat

majlis-e-sher bapa ki to tumhaare liye ki

ye tai huā hai ki sher o adab ke paimāne

hamāre shahr kā ik yak-fanā hī tai karegā

ye tai hua hai ki sher o adab ke paimane

hamare shahr ka ek yak-fana hi tai karega
