Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
na apna nam na chehra badal ke aaya hun
ab bhi aksar dhyan tumhaara aata hai
ye sare phul ye patthar usi se milte hain
KHud se niklun bhi to rasta nahin aasan mera
KHwab aaram nahin KHwab pareshani hai
ye sari dhul meri hai ye sab ghubar mera
ye jo ek shaKH hai hari thi abhi
sun! hijr aur visal ka jadu kahan gaya
aisa ek maqam ho jis mein dil jaisi virani ho
nind mein gunguna raha hun main
us KHush-ada ke aaina-KHane mein jaunga
ye gul jis KHak se laya gaya hai
