apnī nā-karda-gunāhī kī sazā ho jaise
ham se is shahr meñ har ek ḳhafā ho jaise

sochte chehroñ pe jalte hue āsār-e-hayāt
yak-ba-yak vaqt kā irfān huā ho jaise

ye dhundalke ye dar-o-bām kā gambhīr sukūt
chāñdnī raat meñ mahtāb luTā ho jaise

tujh se milne kī tamannā tirī qurbat kā ḳhayāl
reg-zāroñ meñ koī phuul khilā ho jaise

vahī ḳhūbī vahī iḳhlās-o-muravvat ke nishāñ
Hyderabad ki ik shahr-e-vafā ho jaise

apni na-karda-gunahi ki saza ho jaise
hum se is shahr mein har ek KHafa ho jaise

sochte chehron pe jalte hue aasar-e-hayat
yak-ba-yak waqt ka irfan hua ho jaise

ye dhundalke ye dar-o-baam ka gambhir sukut
chandni raat mein mahtab luTa ho jaise

tujh se milne ki tamanna teri qurbat ka KHayal
reg-zaron mein koi phul khila ho jaise

wahi KHubi wahi iKHlas-o-murawwat ke nishan
Hyderabad ki ek shahr-e-wafa ho jaise
