lab pe ik naam hamesha kī tarah

aur kyā kaam hamesha kī tarah

din agar koī guzāre bhī to kyā

phir vahī shaam hamesha kī tarah

dekh kar un ko mire chehre kā rañg

bar-sar-e-ām hamesha kī tarah

kūcha-gardoñ pe hī pābandī hai

jalva-e-bām hamesha kī tarah

dil vahī shahr-e-tamannā ba-kanār

aur nākām hamesha kī tarah

haal kyā apnā batā.e 'mahshar'

vaqf-e-ālām hamesha kī tarah
