jo dast-e-ahl-e-mohabbat ko iKHtiyar mile

jo dast-e-ahl-e-mohabbat ko iḳhtiyār mile

gadā ko phuul mileñ bādshah ko ḳhaar mile

ye shahr-e-shīshagarāñ hai yahāñ yahī hogā

ki sang ek milā aa.ine hazār mile

hamesha hoñToñ pe us ke hañsī nazar aa.ī

hamārī āñkhoñ meñ aañsū bhī be-shumār mile

ga.e the shahr se bāhar udāsiyāñ dhone

aur us safar meñ sab ā.īne par ġhubār mile

milā na dost bhī koī purānī galiyoñ meñ

sab apne shahr meñ masrūf-e-kārobār mile

kabhī to jhāñk zarā manzar-e-nigah se udhar

kabhī to aaqā koī mahv-e-intizār mile

batānā us ko ki sab DhūñDte rahe haiñ use

jo rāste meñ kabhī tum ko ‘tājdār’ mile

jo dast-e-ahl-e-mohabbat ko iKHtiyar mile

gada ko phul milen baadshah ko KHar mile

ye shahr-e-shishagaran hai yahan yahi hoga

ki sang ek mila aaine hazar mile

hamesha honTon pe us ke hansi nazar aai

hamari aankhon mein aansu bhi be-shumar mile

gae the shahr se bahar udasiyan dhone

aur us safar mein sab aaine par ghubar mile

mila na dost bhi koi purani galiyon mein

sab apne shahr mein masruf-e-karobar mile

kabhi to jhank zara manzar-e-nigah se udhar

kabhi to aaqa koi mahw-e-intizar mile

batana us ko ki sab DhunDte rahe hain use

jo raste mein kabhi tum ko ‘tajdar’ mile
