law-lashkar jah-o-hashmat hai yahan
shah koi kab salamat hai yahan

bargah-e-dirham-o-dinar hai
har koi miskin surat hai yahan

be-zabani par meri bola khuda
lab-kushai ki ijazat hai yahan

ai fasil-e-shahr tu rahiyo gawah
sahib-e-alam ki hurmat hai yahan

shahr kya hai ek dasht-e-be-hisi
ganw to phir bhi ghanimat hai yahan

hum karenge jo hamare bas mein hai
baqi apni apni qismat hai yahan

ru-ba-ru hota hai apna zikr-e-khair
pith-pichhe sari ghibat hai yahan

dar nahin darban ko sajda karo
kaamyabi ki zamanat hai yahan

tum hamare ho kuchh is mein shak nahin
bas zara har shai ki qimat hai yahan

sare apne hi hain teri bazm mein
ghair to bas dil ki haalat hai yahan

ishq to rukhsat hua majnun ke sath
kis liye laila ki shohrat hai yahan

kis qadar ghis-pit gaya ye qafiya
jis taraf dekho mohabbat hai yahan

ishq hai bazi-gar-e-mulk-e-adam
husn bhi kufran-e-neamat hai yahan
