Wahi dard Hai Wahi Bebasi Tere Ganw Mein Mere Shahr Mein

Abbas Dana

vahi dard hai vahi bebasi tire gaanv men mire shahr men

be-ghamon ki bhiid men aadmi tire gaanv men mire shahr men

yahan har qadam pe saval hai vahan har qadam pe malal hai

badi uljhanon men hai zindagi tire gaanv men mire shahr men

kise dost apna banaen ham kise dil ka haal sunaen ham

sabhi ghair hain sabhi ajnabi tire gaanv men mire shahr men

hain sabhi ki apni zaruraten koi kaise bante mohabbaten

na khulus hai na hai dosti tire gaanv men mire shahr men

na vo husn hai na hijab hai na vo ishq men tab-o-tab hai

na vo abru-e-vafa rahi tire gaanv men mire shahr men

main ilaj-e-gham bhi na kar saka tira jaam to bhi na bhar saka

hai har ek mod pe tishnagi tire gaanv men mire shahr men

ye hasad jahan ki nazar men hai gham-e-‘dana’ un ke jigar men hai

hai sabhi ko pyaar se dushmani tire gaanv men mire shahr men
