rasta pur-khar dilli dur hai
sach kaha hai yar dilli dur hai

kaam dilli ke siwa hote nahin
aur na-hanjar dilli dur hai

ab kisi ja bhi sukun milta nahin
aasman qahhaar dilli dur hai

phunk deta hai har ek ke kan mein
subh ka akhbar dilli dur hai

kal talak kahte hain dilli dur thi
aaj bhi sarkar dilli dur hai

subh guzri sham hone aai mir
tez kar raftar dilli dur hai

kaun dilli se masiha laega
ai dil-e-bimar dilli dur hai
