shahr-e-dil aabaad tha jab tak wo shahr-ara raha
shahr-e-dil ābād thā jab tak vo shahr-ārā rahā
jab vo shahr-ārā gayā phir shahr-e-dil meñ kyā rahā
kyā rahā phir shahr-e-dil meñ juz-hujūm-e-dard-o-ġham
thī jahāñ fauj-e-tarab vaañ lashkar-e-ġham aa rahā
aa rahā āñkhoñ meñ dam to bhī na aayā vo sanam
haif kis se pochhiye jā kar ki vo kis jā rahā
shahr-e-dil aabaad tha jab tak wo shahr-ara raha
jab wo shahr-ara gaya phir shahr-e-dil mein kya raha
kya raha phir shahr-e-dil mein juz-hujum-e-dard-o-gham
thi jahan fauj-e-tarab wan lashkar-e-gham aa raha
aa raha aankhon mein dam to bhi na aaya wo sanam
haif kis se pochhiye ja kar ki wo kis ja raha
