khushbu hai zafran ki aiwan-e-shahr aaj
hasti koi zarur hai mehman-e-shahr aaj

takraen jam-o-mina o finjaan-e-shahr aaj
piran-e-pir hai koi rindan-e-shahr aaj

sab chauk par hain jama hasinon ki toliyan
hai bich mein faraaz meri jaan-e-shahr aaj

ab dil hamare aaj se us ke asir hain
hakim se tai hua hai ye tawan-e-shahr aaj

kahte hain husn-e-yusuf-e-kanan-e-misr se
behosh kuchh hui hain hasinan-e-shahr aaj

sab taliyan bajaen to ho khatm ye ghazal
'safwat' ke sath mil ke jawanan-e-shahr aaj
