Hum ko loota hai uss sheher ne aye jan-e-wafa..

Hum ko loota hai uss sheher ne aye jan-e-wafa,
Jis ki galiyon main mohabbat ka kuch hisaab na tha,

Woh jo rehte they mere sath hamesha din raat,
Uss ke mazhab main wafaon ka koi baab na tha,

Woh jo ankhon main mohabbat ko liye phirte they,
Uss ke dil main thi woh nafrat ke kuch hisaab na tha,

Maine jis ko bhi museebat main maseeha jana,
Jo diya us ne bara koi us se azaab na tha,

Mujhe khayal tha ke yeh log mere apne hain,
Magar yahan pe to aesa koi riwaaj na tha..
