Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
koi kali hai na ghuncha na gul bara-e-saba
faza ka zarra zarra ishq ki taswir tha kal shab jahan main tha
insan hun ghir gaya hun zamin ke KHudaon mein
aarzuen na-rasai ru-ba-ru main aur tu
tujhse mil kar is qadar apnon se begane hue
ek tajassus dil mein hai ye kya hua kaise hua
uljhe uljhe dhage dhage se KHayalon ki tarah
wa chashm-e-tamasha lab-e-izhaar sila hai
teri talab thi tere aastan se lauT aae
bastiyan ho gain benam-o-nishan raaton-raat
har haqiqat ko guman tak sochun
raaz-e-dil jo teri mahfil mein bhi ifsha na hua
kaisi chali hai ab ke hawa tere shahr mein
hai garm mulkon ka suraj tere jalal ki gard
wahshaton ka kabhi shaidai nahin tha itna
