laa.i phir ik laghzish-e-mastana tere shahr men
phir banengi masjiden mai-ḳhana tere shahr men
aaj phir TuTengi tere ghar ki nazuk khiḌkiyan
aaj phir dekha gaya divana tere shahr men
jurm hai teri gali se sar jhuka kar lauTna
kufr hai pathrav se ghabrana tere shahr men
shah-name likkhe hain khanDarat ki har iinT par
har jagah hai dafn ik afsana tere shahr men
kuchh kanizen jo harim-e-naz men hain baryab
mangti hain jan-o-dil nazrana tere shahr men
nangi saḌkon par bhaTak kar dekh jab marti hai raat
rengta hai har taraf virana tere shahr men
