udaas shahr kī galiyoñ meñ raqs karte haiñ
balā.eñ lete haiñ āvāra-gard ḳhvāboñ kī
duā.eñ dete haiñ bichhḌe huoñ ko milne kī
sañvārte haiñ ḳham-e-gaisu-e-tamannā ko
pukārte haiñ kisī ajnabī masīhā ko
sameT letā hai jab chāñd apnī kirnoñ ko
to din ke gahre samundar meñ Duub jaate haiñ
yūñhī hamesha tulūa o ġhurūb hote haiñ
udas shahr ki galiyon mein raqs karte hain
balaen lete hain aawara-gard KHwabon ki
duaen dete hain bichhDe huon ko milne ki
sanwarte hain KHam-e-gaisu-e-tamanna ko
pukarte hain kisi ajnabi masiha ko
sameT leta hai jab chand apni kirnon ko
to din ke gahre samundar mein Dub jate hain
yunhi hamesha tulua o ghurub hote hain
