tere shaharon se raaja hamein ban hi bhale 

vahaan chain se to sote the sitaaron ke tale 

tujhako bhi dekh liya shahar bhi tera dekha 

jagamagaahat ki har ik tah mein andhera dekha 

aish karate hain tere shahar mein daulatavaale 

aur phaankon ke sitam sahate hain mehanat vaale 

tere shaharon mein zabaan jhoothi hai dil khote hain 

bildingen oonchi hain insaan bahut chhote hain 

tere shaharon se ... 



shor itana hai ki dil ki bhi sada kho jaaye 

bheed aisi hai ke khud apana pata kho jaaye 

ishq vaalon ko yahaan rasm-e-vafa yaad nahi 

husn ko husn ki sharm-o-haya yaad nahi 

jism se rooh ka hai bair tere shaharon mein 

nazar aate hain sabhi gair tere shaharon mein 

tere shaharon se ... 



toone jo dhang nikaale hain ve bedhange hain 

kapada bunati hai mil phir bhi badan nangen hain 

galla chhup jaata hai dhanavaanon ke tahakaanon mein 

laakhon mar jaate hain tapate hue maidaanon mein 

bhookhe futapaathon pe sote hain tere shaharon mein 

log insaaf ko rote hain tere shaharon mein 

tere shaharon se ... 



kaheen bhaasha ka jhagada hai to kaheen praant ka hai 

kaheen naslon ka hai fasaad to kaheen jaat ka hai 

aman aur chain ka hai saaya nahi in raahon mein 

daadhiyaan chotiyaan takaraati hain chauraahon mein 

tere shaharon mein mohabbat ka pata kya dhoondhen 

aadami tak nahi milata hai kuda kya dhoondhen 

tere shaharon se ... 



tumane raaket ki madad le ke sitaare dekhe 

maut ke munh mein hain dukh-dard ke maare kitane 

daane-daane ko tarasate hain bechaare kitane 

yahi tahazeeb hai shaharon ki to jangal achchhe 

jo har ik ghar pe barasate hon vo baadal achchhe 

tere shaharon se ...
