Jo zakhm tu nay diye thay woh bhertay jatay hain

Charhay hoay thay jo dariya utartay jatay hain

Yeh Ahel_e_shahr_e_wafa hain ajab bahar parust

saroo kay phool faseelo’n pay dhertay jatay hain,

nahi hai aur tu kuch bhi hamaray hatoo’n main

siva_ye_arz_e_tamman na so kertay jata hain

ajeeb loog hain , yeh ahel_e_intezaar kay jo

khud apni aag main jul kar sa’nwertay jatay hain

najanay kaun si basti kay hain yeh bashindey!

nazar uthatey nahi aur guzertay jatay hain

yeh aaj shaher pay utri hay kis bala ki raat

charaagh apni lawoo’n say mukertay jatay hain

darakht shaam ko lagtay hain shaher say amjad

kay shaakh shaakh parinday utartay jatay hain.
