chandi wale, shishe wale, aankhon wale shahr mein
chāñdī vāle, shīshe vāle, āñkhoñ vaale shahr meñ
kho gayā ik shaḳhs mujh se, dekhe-bhāle shahr meñ
mandiroñ ke sehn meñ sadiyoñ purānī ghanTiyāñ
deviyoñ ke husn ke kohna havāle shahr meñ
sard rātoñ kī havā meñ uḌte pattoñ ke masīl
kaun tere shab-navardoñ ko sambhāle shahr meñ
kāñch kī shāḳhoñ pe laTke terī vahshat ke samar
terī vahshat ke samar bhī ham ne paale shahr meñ
dil ke reshoñ se ridā-e-nūr bunte miT ga.e
shab kī fasloñ meñ nahīñ āsāñ ujāle shahr meñ
chandi wale, shishe wale, aankhon wale shahr mein
kho gaya ek shaKHs mujh se, dekhe-bhaale shahr mein
mandiron ke sehn mein sadiyon purani ghanTiyan
dewiyon ke husn ke kohna hawale shahr mein
sard raaton ki hawa mein uDte patton ke masil
kaun tere shab-nawardon ko sambhaale shahr mein
kanch ki shaKHon pe laTke teri wahshat ke samar
teri wahshat ke samar bhi hum ne pale shahr mein
dil ke reshon se rida-e-nur bunte miT gae
shab ki faslon mein nahin aasan ujale shahr mein
