phir vahī ḳhāna-e-barbād hamāre liye hai
shahr-e-ġharnāta-o-baġhdād hamāre liye hai
jhelnā hai hameñ phir karb farāmoshī kā
phir vahī silsila-e-yād hamāre liye hai
niiñd ke shahr-e-tilismāt mubārak hoñ tumheñ
jāgte rahne kī uftād hamāre liye hai
ġham haiñ āshob-e-ḳhudī meñ hameñ varna ik shahr
ḳhuuñ se tar shor se ābād hamāre liye hai
dhūñDiye aks-e-'qamar' raat ke ā.īne meñ
aaj kī shab yahī irshād hamāre liye hai
