apni na-karda-gunahi ki saza ho jaise
hum se is shahr mein har ek khafa ho jaise

sochte chehron pe jalte hue aasar-e-hayat
yak-ba-yak waqt ka irfan hua ho jaise

ye dhundalke ye dar-o-baam ka gambhir sukut
chandni raat mein mahtab luta ho jaise

tujh se milne ki tamanna teri qurbat ka khayal
reg-zaron mein koi phul khila ho jaise

wahi khubi wahi ikhlas-o-murawwat ke nishan
hyderabad ki ek shahr-e-wafa ho jaise
