Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
khulegi us nazar pe chashm-e-tar aahista aahista
nam hain palken teri ai mauj-e-hawa raat ke sath
barish hui to phulon ke tan chaak ho gae
ek hunar tha kamal tha kya tha
chalne ka hausla nahin rukna muhaal kar diya
hawa-e-taza mein phir jism o jaan basane ka
zindagi be-saeban be-ghar kahin aisi na thi
baadban khulne se pahle ka ishaara dekhna
dil ka kya hai wo to chahega musalsal milna
bahut roya wo hum ko yaad kar ke
apni ruswai tere nam ka charcha dekhun
ku-ba-ku phail gai baat shanasai ki
chaarasazon ki aziyyat nahin dekhi jati
dhup sat rangon mein phailti hai aankhon par
