kufe ke qarib ho gaya hai
kuufe ke qarīb ho gayā hai
lahore ajiib ho gayā hai
har dost hai mere ḳhuuñ kā pyāsā
har dost raqīb ho gayā hai
har aañkh kī zulmatoñ se yaarī
har zehn muhīb ho gayā hai
kyā hañstā hañsātā shahr yaaro
hāsid kā nasīb ho gayā hai
phailā thā masīh-e-vaqt ban kar
simTā to salīb ho gayā hai
kāġhaz pe ugal rahā hai nafrat
kam-zarf adiib ho gayā hai
is shahr ke dil nahīñ hai 'zulfī'
ye shahr ġharīb ho gayā hai
kufe ke qarib ho gaya hai
lahore ajib ho gaya hai
har dost hai mere KHun ka pyasa
har dost raqib ho gaya hai
har aankh ki zulmaton se yari
har zehn muhib ho gaya hai
kya hansta hansata shahr yaro
hasid ka nasib ho gaya hai
phaila tha masih-e-waqt ban kar
simTa to salib ho gaya hai
kaghaz pe ugal raha hai nafrat
kam-zarf adib ho gaya hai
is shahr ke dil nahin hai 'zulfi'
ye shahr gharib ho gaya hai
