koi to shehar-e-tazabzub ke
saakinon se kahe
na ho yaqeen to phir
mojza na maange koi
go tell the dwellers of
this city of skepticism
those who don't believe
shouldn't expect miracles either
Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)
mera dil hai ek
bade se shehar jaisa
jis mein ek bhi ghar
nahi mere naam ka
my heart is like
a big, busy city
in which not even
one house is in my name
Theme:Home, Country & Belonging (23)
'jamaal' har shehar se hai pyaara
vo shehar mujh ko
jahaan se dekha tha
pehli baar aasmaan main ne
jamaal, of all the cities
that city is dear to me
from where i saw the sky
for the first time
