Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
us aankh se wahshat ki tasir uTha laya
sham aai to koi KHush-badni yaad aai
maine chup ke andhere mein KHud ko rakha ek faza ke liye
bahut qarine ki zindagi thi ajab qayamat mein aa basa hun
main umar ke raste mein chup-chap bikhar jata
kahin goyai ke hathon samaat ro rahi hai
jo yahan hazir hai wo misl-e-guman maujud hai
wusat-e-chashm ko andoh-e-basarat likhkha
dil soya hua tha muddat se ye kaisi bashaarat jagi hai
khulta nahin ki hum mein KHizan-dida kaun hai
maine kal KHwab mein aainda ko chalte dekha
wusat-e-chashm ko andoh-e-basarat likkha
jo baat shart-e-visal Thahri wahi hai ab wajh-e-bad-gumani
kitne mausam sargardan the mujhse hath milane mein
be-had gham hain jin mein awwal umr guzar jaane ka gham
