ab to har haath kā patthar hameñ pahchāntā hai
umr guzrī hai tire shahr meñ aate jaate

hath Khaali hain tere shahr se jate jate

yahī shahr shahr-e-qarār hai to dil-e-shikasta kī ḳhair ho
mirī aas hai kisī aur se mujhe pūchhtā koī aur hai

dekhnā hai aag meñ kaisā nazar aatā hai shahr
ḳhvāh puurā shahr hī ham ko jalā denā paḌe

ye na ho wo bhulne wala bhula dena paDe

zamīñ chhoḌ kar nahīñ jā.ūñgā nayā shahr ek basā.ūñgā!
mire baḳht ne mire ahd ne mujhe iḳhtiyār agar diyā

ḳhudārā muftiyān-e-shahar se koī to ye pūchhe
churā.e roTiyāñ bhūkā agar to chor hotā hai

samaat par dabaw waqt ka munh-zor hota hai
