Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
shikasta-dil andheri shab akela rahbar kyun ho
abhi se kaise kahun tumko bewafa sahab
bahaaron ke aanchal mein KHush-bu chhupi hai
kis KHata ki saza mili usko
ye raushni tere kamre mein KHud nahin aai
waqt KHamosh hai TuTe hue rishton ki tarah
meri chahaton mein ghurur ho dil-e-na-tawan mein surur ho
sila diya hai mohabbat ka tumne ye kaisa
kaise sahra mein bhaTakta hai mera tishna lab
yahi fasana raha hai junun ke sahra mein
raushni phuT nikli misron se
tumhaare bina sab adhure hain jaanan
aap ka lahja shahad jaisa tarannum-KHez hai
ye shafaq chand sitare nahin achchhe lagte
zindagi aaj tera lutf o karam
