    shahr shahr hai be-zār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    aur tanhā.ī hai dushvār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    log marte haiñ sisakte haiñ maze lete haiñ

    dekh kar surḳhi-e-aḳhbār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    jo kahtā hai ki ye ḳhāk-e-vatan terī hai

    maiñ kahāñ par huuñ mire yaar kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    ek inkār pe mauqūf haiñ saare qisse

    maiñ kahāñ sāhab-e-kirdār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    mujh ko rishtoñ tijārat kabhī manzūr na thī

    sochtā huuñ sar-e-bāzār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    pārsā ḳhvāb sabhī us ke tasarruf meñ rahe

    raat bhī ho ga.ī badkār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    koī manzil tirī niyyat se kabhī raushan ho

    ai mire qāfila-sālār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    ek jhanDe haiñ sabhī rañg judā haiñ un ke

    kaun hai kis alam-dār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    jitne munkir the tire saare farishte nikle

    ek maiñ terā gunahgār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    maiñ kināre pe khaḌā soch rahā huuñ 'ḳhurshīd'

    naav ke saath hai mañjdhār kahāñ jā.ūñ maiñ

    shahr ka shahr hai be-zar kahan jaun main

    aur tanhai hai dushwar kahan jaun main

    log marte hain sisakte hain maze lete hain

    dekh kar surKHi-e-aKHbar kahan jaun main

    tu jo kahta hai ki ye KHak-e-watan teri hai

    main kahan par hun mere yar kahan jaun main

    ek inkar pe mauquf hain sare qisse

    main kahan sahab-e-kirdar kahan jaun main

    mujh ko rishton ki tijarat kabhi manzur na thi

    sochta hun sar-e-bazar kahan jaun main

    parsa KHwab sabhi us ke tasarruf mein rahe

    raat bhi ho gai badkar kahan jaun main

    koi manzil teri niyyat se kabhi raushan ho

    ai mere qafila-salar kahan jaun main

    ek jhanDe hain sabhi rang juda hain un ke

    kaun hai kis ka alam-dar kahan jaun main

    jitne munkir the tere sare farishte nikle

    ek main tera gunahgar kahan jaun main

    main kinare pe khaDa soch raha hun 'KHurshid'

    naw ke sath hai manjdhaar kahan jaun main
