kuchh yaadgar-e-shahr-e-sitamgar hi le chalen
aae hain is gali mein to patthar hi le chalen

yun kis tarah katega kadi dhup ka safar
sar par khayal-e-yar ki chadar hi le chalen

ranj-e-safar ki koi nishani to pas ho
thodi si khak-e-kucha-e-dilbar hi le chalen

ye kah ke chhedti hai hamein dil-giraftagi
ghabra gae hain aap to bahar hi le chalen

is shahr-e-be-charagh mein jaegi tu kahan
aa ai shab-e-firaq tujhe ghar hi le chalen
