jaanib-e-kucha-o-bazar na dekha jae
jānib-e-kūcha-o-bāzār na dekhā jaa.e
ġhaur se shahr kā kirdār na dekhā jaa.e
khiḌkiyāñ band kareñ chhup ke gharoñ meñ baiTheñ
kyā samāñ hai pas-e-dīvār na dekhā jaa.e
surḳhiyāñ ḳhuun meñ Duubī haiñ sab aḳhbāroñ kī
aaj ke din koī aḳhbār na dekhā jaa.e
shahr kā shahr gunahgār to ho saktā hai
jab kahīñ koī gunahgār na dekhā jaa.e
dasht se kam nahīñ vīrāñ koī bastī 'maḳhmūr'
ye hujūm-e-dar-o-dīvār na dekhā jaa.e
jaanib-e-kucha-o-bazar na dekha jae
ghaur se shahr ka kirdar na dekha jae
khiDkiyan band karen chhup ke gharon mein baiThen
kya saman hai pas-e-diwar na dekha jae
surKHiyan KHun mein Dubi hain sab aKHbaron ki
aaj ke din koi aKHbar na dekha jae
shahr ka shahr gunahgar to ho sakta hai
jab kahin koi gunahgar na dekha jae
dasht se kam nahin viran koi basti 'maKHmur'
ye hujum-e-dar-o-diwar na dekha jae
