SHAHR DIL PHIR MERA VEERAAN HUA JATA HAI,
GHAR KI BARBADI KA SAMAAN HUA JATA HAI,
GHAALBAN PHIR NAYII UFTAAD PARHI HAI DIL PAR,
SAANS BHI NOOH KA TOOFAAN HUA JATA HAI,
TERI HAR BAAT SE GIRTA HAI KALEJA KAT KAR,
TERA HAR LAFZ TO PEEKAAN HUA JAATA HAI,
HIJR KI RAAT TO KARWAT ME'N GUZAR JAATI HAI,
AUR DIN BHI BAHUT AASAN HUA JAATA HAI,
SAARA GHAM MERI HI QISMAT MEI'N LIKHA HAI "SAIFI",
DIL MERA "MEER" KA DEEWAAN HUA JAATA HAI.
