Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan
chand bhi nikla sitare bhi barabar nikle
ahl-e-hawas to KHair hawas mein hue zalil
faza-e-dil pe kahin chha na jae yas ka rang
jis ki sanson se mahakte the dar-o-baam tere
ek zamana tha ki sab ek jagah rahte the
roz milne pe bhi lagta tha ki jug bit gae
gum raha hun tere KHayalon mein
tu ne hi to chaha tha ki milta rahun tujhse
mujhe malum hai ahl-e-wafa par kya guzarti hai
guzre hazar baadal palkon ke sae sae
tu agar pas nahin hai kahin maujud to hai
jaise pau phaT rahi ho jangal mein
jahan-e-ishq se hum sarsari nahin guzre
wahi gulshan hai lekin waqt ki parwaz to dekho
kai chand the sar-e-asman ki chamak chamak ke palaT gae
