raston mein ek nagar aabaad hai
rāstoñ meñ ik nagar ābād hai
is tasavvur hī se ghar ābād hai
kaisī kaisī sūrateñ gum ho ga.iiñ
dil kisī sūrat magar ābād hai
kaisī kaisī mahfileñ suunī huiiñ
phir bhī duniyā kis qadar ābād hai
zindagī pāgal havā ke saath saath
misl-e-ḳhāk-e-rahguzar ābād hai
dasht-o-sahrā ho chuke qadmoñ kī gard
shahr ab tak dosh par ābād hai
be-ḳhudī rusvā to kyā kartī mujhe
mujh meñ koī be-ḳhabar ābād hai
dhuup bhī sañvlā ga.ī hai jis jagah
us ḳharābe meñ sahar ābād hai
raston mein ek nagar aabaad hai
is tasawwur hi se ghar aabaad hai
kaisi kaisi suraten gum ho gain
dil kisi surat magar aabaad hai
kaisi kaisi mahfilen suni huin
phir bhi duniya kis qadar aabaad hai
zindagi pagal hawa ke sath sath
misl-e-KHak-e-rahguzar aabaad hai
dasht-o-sahra ho chuke qadmon ki gard
shahr ab tak dosh par aabaad hai
be-KHudi ruswa to kya karti mujhe
mujh mein koi be-KHabar aabaad hai
dhup bhi sanwla gai hai jis jagah
us KHarabe mein sahar aabaad hai
