Aisy wo mery shahr ki taqdeer se khaily,

Aisy wo mery shahr ki taqdeer se khaily,
Jaisy koi bacha kisi tasveer se khaliy,
Rehna hai usy or b kuch roz qafas main,
Qaidi se kaho sabar ki zanjeer se khaily,
Utra hia mery zehn se paikar tera lekin,
Dil ab b tery lams ki taaseer se khaily,
Mumkin tha mhbt me hmein maat na hoti,
Ye khail mgr hm bari taakheer se khaily,
Ye zeest ki bazi na tery hath rahy gi,
To laakh issy ghor se tadbeer se khaily.
