Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
charagh-e-rah bujha kya ki rahnuma bhi gaya
dhanak dhanak meri poron ke KHwab kar dega
apni tanhai mere nam pe aabaad kare
kuchh faisla to ho ki kidhar jaana chahiye
waqt-e-ruKHsat aa gaya dil phir bhi ghabraya nahin
ek manzar
aaj ki shab to kisi taur guzar jaegi
nahin mera aanchal maila hai
taqayya
wo bagh mein mera muntazir tha
bahut se log the mehman mere ghar lekin
masala jab bhi charaghon ka uTha
supurd kar ke use chandni ke hathon mein
gawahi kaise TuTti muamla KHuda ka tha
zulm sahna bhi to zalim ki himayat Thahra
jaane kab tak teri taswir nigahon mein rahi
