Jhelum, Punjab, Pakistan
jab ba-faizan-e-junun parcham-e-zar khulte hain
wo kam-nasib jo ahd-e-jafa mein rahte hain
burrish-e-tegh bhi hai phul ki mahkar bhi hai
irfan-o-agahi ke saza-war hum hue
chhupe hue hain sar-e-rah sau KHatar KHamosh
dam-e-isa yad-e-baiza ke qarine wale
ahd-e-wafa ka qarz ada kar diya gaya
main samajhta tha haqiqat aashna ho jaega
jaan rahe ya na rahe nam rahe
jafa ki rasm-e-sitam ka riwaj badlega
mila jo koi yahan ramz-ashna na mujhe
saman sad hazar hain tu jag to sahi
tujhse ai zist hamein jitne hasin KHwab mile
barq se aashiyan ka rishta hai
apni qismat mein gham-e-arsa-e-hijran hai to kya
