Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
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
yahi wo din the jab ek dusre ko paya tha
rafaqaton ke nae KHwab KHushnuma hain magar
main sach kahungi magar phir bhi haar jaungi
hath mere bhul baiThe dastaken dene ka fan
usne jalti hui peshani pe jab hath rakha
qadmon mein bhi takan thi ghar bhi qarib tha
ye hawa kaise uDa le gai aanchal mera
baKHt se koi shikayat hai na aflak se hai
tere paimane mein gardish nahin baqi saqi
jang ka hathiyar tai kuchh aur tha
