Shehr Bhi Hai

wafaa ke bhes main koi raqeeb-e-shehar bhi hai
hazar! ke shehar ke qaatil tabeeb-e-shahar bhi hai

wahi sipaah-e-sitam Khemaazan hai chaaroon taraf
jo mere bakht main thaa ab naseeb-e-shehar bhi hai

udhar kee aag idhar bhii pahunch na jaaye kahin
hawaa bhi tez hai jangal qareeb-e-shehar bhi hai

ab us ke hijr main rote hain us ke ghaayal bhi
Khabar na thi ke wo zaalim habeeb-e-shehar bhi hai

ye raaz naaraa-e-mansoor hii se ham pe Khulaa
ke choob-e-mimbar-e-masjid saleeb-e-shehar bhi hai

kadi hai jang ke ab ke muqaable pe 'Faraz'
ameer-e-shehar bhi hai aur khateeb-e-shehar bhi hai
