kya shahr mein hai garmi-e-bazar ke siwa
kyā shahr meñ hai garmi-e-bāzār ke sivā
sab ajnabī haiñ ek dil-e-zār ke sivā
is dasht-e-be-ḳhudī meñ ki duniyā kaheñ jise
ġhāfil sabhī haiñ ik nigah-e-yār ke sivā
chehroñ ke chāñd raakh hue baam bujh ga.e
kuchh bhī bachā na hasrat-e-dīdār ke sivā
aalam tamām tīrgi-e-dard-e-muzmahil
haañ ik faroġh-e-shola-e-ruḳhsār ke sivā
saarī shafaq sameT ke sūraj chalā gayā
ab kyā rahā hai mauj-e-shab-e-tār ke sivā
jis samt dekhiye hai salīboñ kī ik qatār
koī ufuq nahīñ ufuq-e-dār ke sivā
kya shahr mein hai garmi-e-bazar ke siwa
sab ajnabi hain ek dil-e-zar ke siwa
is dasht-e-be-KHudi mein ki duniya kahen jise
ghafil sabhi hain ek nigah-e-yar ke siwa
chehron ke chand rakh hue baam bujh gae
kuchh bhi bacha na hasrat-e-didar ke siwa
aalam tamam tirgi-e-dard-e-muzmahil
han ek farogh-e-shola-e-ruKHsar ke siwa
sari shafaq sameT ke suraj chala gaya
ab kya raha hai mauj-e-shab-e-tar ke siwa
jis samt dekhiye hai salibon ki ek qatar
koi ufuq nahin ufuq-e-dar ke siwa
