karachi
ik hujūm-e-be-karāñ
shahr kī saḌkoñ pe galiyoñ meñ ravāñ
din ke hangāmoñ ko rakhtā hai javāñ
ek jānib silsila-e-hā-e-‘imārāt-e-buland
jin ke mīnāre falak se mil ga.e haiñ jā-ba-jā
shahr kī satvat ke 'azmat ke nishāñ
dūsrī jānib hai bosīda makānoñ kī qatār
muddatoñ se gardish-e-lail-o-nahār
hai is ābādī meñ jin kī nauha-ḳhvāñ
ai karāchi ai nigār-e-jāñ-sitāñ
go tire ruḳh par khilī hai chāñdnī
terī galiyoñ meñ añdherī raat hai
ek hujum-e-be-karan
shahr ki saDkon pe galiyon mein rawan
din ke hangamon ko rakhta hai jawan
ek jaanib silsila-e-ha-e-‘imaraat-e-buland
jin ke minare falak se mil gae hain ja-ba-ja
shahr ki satwat ke 'azmat ke nishan
dusri jaanib hai bosida makanon ki qatar
muddaton se gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar
hai is aabaadi mein jin ki nauha-KHwan
ai karachi ai nigar-e-jaan-sitan
go tere ruKH par khili hai chandni
teri galiyon mein andheri raat hai
