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
wo mahtab jab us ghar se ghar badalne laga
dosh par bar-e-gham uThae hue
jo na mil baiTha ho phir us se shikayat kaisi
qismat mein jis ke tha wo gaya is jahan se
jaan-e-gulshan jo hue wo gul-e-tar dekhe hain
dafatan bichhDega wo bhi dil ko ye dhaDka na tha
hum jo bichhDe hain to aankhon ko bhigote hi rahe
