main jab us shahr ka qasd karta hun
tumhaari aankhen mera rasta rok leti hain

tum jaanti ho
mera wahan jaana zaruri hai

wahan mere log hain
jin se mera mukalima

kai sadiyon se band hai
mujhe us shahr ko jaana hai

magar is shahr ke bagh aur parinde
mere panw pakad lete hain

khush-andam do-shizaon ke sinon ke gulab
meri be-tabiyon ke liye

khud ko wa kar dete hain
mujhe us shahr ko jaana hai

magar is shahr ke sab se bade tajir ne
meri aarzuen mere khwab

mera sara asbab-e-safar kharid liya hai
