shahr-e-dil bhi sara-e-fani hai
ye nishani ajab nishani hai

zindagi tum yahin kahin rahna
aaj ki raat maut aani hai

khud-kushi kar ke dil udas hua
is nadi mein zara sa pani hai

mere andar ye ped paude hain
aur bahar ki rut-khizani hai

maut ki ruh tak pahunchna hai
jaan aise nahin ganwani hai

aa laga tir ek sine par
hum ne puchha tha bhai pani hai
