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
