Aaj us shehr se phir door chala aaya hooN

Aaj us shehr se phir door chala aaya hooN

meiN ne jis shehr meiN jeene ka tariqa seekha

jis ki maanoos fizaaoN meiN buune the naghme

ibn-e-aadam se mohabbat ka saliqa seekha

Jis ki galioN meiN mere dil ki kali mehki thi

meri aankhoN meri nas nas meiN suroor aaya tha

jis meiN ik hawwa ki beti ne kiye the wa'ade

apni ma'asoom adaaoN se yeh samjhaya tha

Kitne anmol haseeN khawab tumhe deti hooN

aur tum ho ke na haq hi gurezaaN tum ho

meiN jo haazir hooN tera dard bataane ke liye

phir bhi kiya baat he kyoN itne pareshaaN tum ho

Jis ke khush rang haseeN wa'adoN meiN aa kar meiN ne

dil-e-weeraan ka darwaza khula chaurh diya

jis ki ulfat ne badal dali this dunya meri

jis ki chaahat ne meri zeest ka rukh maur diya

Yak bayak us shehr ne phir mujh se nigaheiN pheriN

mero chahat mere jeewan meiN zhehr ghaul diya

mere armaanoN ko rangeen kafan pehnaa kar

zar ke baazaar meiN jazboN ka nirakh baul diya

Aaj us shehr se phir door chala aaya hooN

jis ki galioN me meri zeest ka saamaan luta

jist ke ik kooche meiN wohi maah jabeeN rehti he

jis ke baazaaroN meiN ik saada sa insaan luta
