Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
charagh-e-rah bujha kya ki rahnuma bhi gaya
dhanak dhanak meri poron ke KHwab kar dega
rukne ka samay guzar gaya hai
apni tanhai mere nam pe aabaad kare
gawahi kaise TuTti muamla KHuda ka tha
apni hi sada sunun kahan tak
pura dukh aur aadha chand
wo to KHush-bu hai hawaon mein bikhar jaega
hawa mahak uThi rang-e-chaman badalne laga
sabhi gunah dhul gae saza hi aur ho gai
TuTi hai meri nind magar tumko is se kya
isi mein KHush hun mera dukh koi to sahta hai
rasta bhi kaThin dhup mein shiddat bhi bahut thi
jala diya shajar-e-jaan ki sabz-baKHt na tha
qaid mein guzregi jo umr baDe kaam ki thi
