Muqadder hai be der-o-deewar rahna
Kahein  tyy paraha hai shaher ka mismar rahna

Namood  khuab ke aur inhedam khuab ke beech
Qayamat merhalah hai dil ka nahamwar rahna

Dilon  ke dermiayn doori ke din hain aur hum ko
Isi mausam mein tanha ber sare paikar rahana

Andheri  rat aur shorisgan-e-koy dashnam
Aur aise mein kisi ek aankh kabaidar rahna

Tmasha kerne walw aa rahein hain joq  dar joq
Garohe  pabajola raqs ko tyyar rahna

Hwai koyy qatil be adab hone lagi hai
Chiragh-e-jadai sidq-o-safa hushyar rahana

Yeh dushwari to aasani kakhamiyazah hai werna
Bahut hi sahel tha hum ko bahut dushwar rahna

Idher  kuch  din se as basti ko ras aane laga hai
Hum Ashaftah dilon ko  darpai  aazar rahna

Bikher jaein ge hum kya
Jab tamasha khatam hoga

Chiragh Hijrah derwaish ki bujhti huyee lau
Hwa se kah  gayee hai hum tamasha khtam hoga

Tamash kerne walon ko khber di ja chuki hai
Kih  perdah kab gire ga kab tmasha katam hoga

Yahi do eik pal ki rat hai phir matla-il-fajr
Hamare hote hote sab tamasha khtam ho ga

Zamein jab noor se bher di gayee noor ala noor
Bnam maslk-o-mazhab tamasha khatam hoga
