shahr mein humse kuchh aashufta-dilan aur bhi hain
shahr meñ ham se kuchh āshufta-dilāñ aur bhī haiñ
sāhil-e-bahr pe qadmoñ ke nishāñ aur bhī haiñ
ret ke tuude chamak uThte haiñ jab zulmat meñ
aisā lagtā hai ki kuchh log yahāñ aur bhī haiñ
kaise manzar the ki shīshoñ kī tarah TuuT ga.e
magar āñkhoñ meñ ka.ī ḳhvāb-e-girāñ aur bhī haiñ
bastiyāñ dil kī bhī sunsān paḌī haiñ kab se
ye khañDar hī nahīñ sāyoñ ke makāñ aur bhī haiñ
shab ke sannāTe meñ chaTTānoñ ko dekho ai 'zeb'
tum se begāna-e-fariyād-o-fuġhāñ aur bhī haiñ
shahr mein hum se kuchh aashufta-dilan aur bhi hain
sahil-e-bahr pe qadmon ke nishan aur bhi hain
ret ke tude chamak uThte hain jab zulmat mein
aisa lagta hai ki kuchh log yahan aur bhi hain
kaise manzar the ki shishon ki tarah TuT gae
magar aankhon mein kai KHwab-e-giran aur bhi hain
bastiyan dil ki bhi sunsan paDi hain kab se
ye khanDar hi nahin sayon ke makan aur bhi hain
shab ke sannaTe mein chaTTanon ko dekho ai 'zeb'
tum se begana-e-fariyaad-o-fughan aur bhi hain
