Mai kya batau tujhko

Kya khaas ye sheher hai

Shaukat ki arjuman mein iflaas ye sheher hai

Kaisi munaafiqat ye, do pehlu hai paraaye

Dariya kinaare panchiyo ki pyaas ye sheher hai

Ek jazba ye sheher hai, jazbaat ye sheher hai

Na shaamo seher, jaagi hui raat ye sheher hai

Itihaas ke panno pe likhi kal ki daastaan

Ajdaad ke sangharsh ki khairaat ye sheher hai

Ek helmet, ek scooty, bande chaar ye sheher hai

Haalato se jujhte jugaad ye sheher hai

Cement ki daraaro se gulaab khil rahe

Do gaz ke ghar mein chapre ki deewaar ye sheher hai

Deewaano ki kahaani bin deewaan ye sheher hai

Chote se ghar aur mehenge se makaan ye sheher hai

Chauraahe pe jo khudko paaoge o rahguzar

Ek ajnabee ki raham ka ehsaan ye sheher hai

Ek tinka ye sheher hai kainaat ye sheher hai

Ek kaali peeli rango ki barsaat ye sheher hai

Bheje mujhe ye zindagi ab koi bhi dishaa

Is rooh ki jadon mein mere saath ye sheher hai

Mai kya batau tujhko
