tu rang hai ghubar hain teri gali ke log
to phul hai sharar hain teri gali ke log

to raunaq-e-hayat hai to husn-e-kaenat
ujda hua dayar hain teri gali ke log

tu paikar-e-wafa hai mujassam khulus hai
badnam-e-rozgar hain teri gali ke log

raushan tere jamal se hain mehr-o-mah bhi
lekin nazar pe bar hain teri gali ke log

dekho jo ghaur se to zamin se bhi past hain
yun aasman-shikar hain teri gali ke log

phir ja raha hun tere tabassum ko lut kar
har-chand hoshiyar hain teri gali ke log

kho jaenge sahar ke ujalon mein aakhirash
shama sar-e-mazar hain teri gali ke log
