Shahr-e-alam ka shahryar aa gaya

shahr-e-alam ka shahryar aa gaya
sar-barahna mera tajdar aa gaya

subh-e-KHandan liye ru-e-taban liye
sham-e-ghurbat tera gham-gusar aa gaya

sabr arzan hua jabr larzan hua
sahab-e-shan-e-sad-iKHtiyar aa gaya

nala-karo uTho sogwaro uTho
be-qararo koi be-qarar aa gaya

kaenat apni hai ab hayat apni hai
ghamkasho gham-zado gham-gusar aa gaya

taza ab gham na kar KHam ko ab KHam na kar
saqiya hasil-e-intizar aa gaya

jam chhalka diya shoala bhaDka diya
yaad aaKHir zuleKHa ka pyar aa gaya

raat khulne lagi chandni dhul gai
mah-wash mah-shikan mah-shiar aa gaya

zaKHm-e-pinhan mahak tair-e-jaan lahak
gul-badan gul-jabin gul-e-ezar aa gaya

baat kyun rok li aankh kyun nam hui
mujh ko dekho mujhe eatibar aa gaya

aap sochen nazar kis liye mast hai
aap ke sath abr-e-bahaar aa gaya
