Hai ajeeb shahr ki zindagi na safar raha na qayaam hai
Kahin karobar si dophar kahin badmizaj si shaam hai

Kahan ab duaon ki barkatein wo naseehatein wo hidayatein
Ye zaroraton ka khuloos hai ye mataalbon ka salaam hai

Yun hi roz milne ki aarzo badi rakh rakhao ki guftgu
Ye sharaafatein nahin be gharaz use aapse koi kaam hai

Wo dilom mein aag lagaayega mein dilon ki aag bujhaunga
Use apne kaam se kaam hai mujhe apne kaam se kaam hai

Na udaas ho na malaal kar kisi baat ka na khyal kar
kai saal baad mile hain ham tire naam aaj ki shaam hai

Koi naghmadhoop key gaon sa koi naghma shaamki chhaon sa
Zara in parindon se poochhna ye kalaam kis ka kalaam hai
