lai phir ek laghzish-e-mastana tere shahr mein
phir banengi masjiden mai-khana tere shahr mein

aaj phir tutengi tere ghar ki nazuk khidkiyan
aaj phir dekha gaya diwana tere shahr mein

jurm hai teri gali se sar jhuka kar lautna
kufr hai pathraw se ghabrana tere shahr mein

shah-name likkhe hain khandaraat ki har int par
har jagah hai dafn ek afsana tere shahr mein

kuchh kanizen jo harim-e-naz mein hain baryab
mangti hain jaan o dil nazrana tere shahr mein

nangi sadkon par bhatak kar dekh jab marti hai raat
rengta hai har taraf virana tere shahr mein
