shahr ki aaankhon ka matla saf ho
to dil mein utre dhak ke phulon ki aanch

shahr ke nathune khulen to mauja-e-baad-e-junub
aam par bor aa chuka hai ye khabar phailae

shahr ke kanon se niklen shor-o-ghul ke dat
to chhue shah-e-rag ko koyal ki pukar

shahr ki jaan se ghubar-e-shahr ka baadal chhate
to hawas-e-khamsa ki nagri mein bhi aae basant
