Bulalo phir mujhey ay shah-e-bahr-o-bar, Madeenahy main
Main phir rota huwa aoo, teray dar par Madeenahy main
Na douwlat dey nah shouhrat dey, mujhey bas ye shahaadat dey
Teray Qadmo mayn marjaoon, main ro ro kar Madeeney main
Madeene jaaney Waalo jawo jawo fi-Aman’illah
Kabhi to apna bhi lag jaey ga bistar Madeeney main
Meraa gham bhi to dekho, main paraa hoo dur Tayba sey
Sukoon Paey’ga bas meraa dil-e-Muztar Madeeney main
Salaam-e-showq kehna haajyo meraa bhi ro ro kar
Sunaa na Dastan-e-Gham meri ro kar Madeenay meyn
Madeenah is liye Attar jaan-o-diil se hey piyaara
Key rehtay heyn meray Aqa meray dil-bar Madeenay meyn
