Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
chhoD de aasan rasta zindagi dushwar kar
KHwahishon ka badan samundar hai
jazba-e-shauq ka izhaar kahan hota hai
bu-e-gul khinche na gulshan mein gul-e-tar khinche
lamhon ko udasi mein samona nahin achchha
aisi duniya ka etibar nahin
na-karda gunahon ki saza aur hi kuchh hai
dil ko hasil KHushi nahin hoti
dosh par bar-e-gham uThae hue
wo mahtab jab us ghar se ghar badalne laga
jo na mil baiTha ho phir us se shikayat kaisi
jaan-e-gulshan jo hue wo gul-e-tar dekhe hain
qismat mein jis ke tha wo gaya is jahan se
hum jo bichhDe hain to aankhon ko bhigote hi rahe
dafatan bichhDega wo bhi dil ko ye dhaDka na tha
