Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
ye hawa kaise uDa le gai aanchal mera
hath mere bhul baiThe dastaken dene ka fan
usne jalti hui peshani pe jab hath rakha
main sach kahungi magar phir bhi haar jaungi
rafaqaton ke nae KHwab KHushnuma hain magar
qadmon mein bhi takan thi ghar bhi qarib tha
itne ghane baadal ke pichhe
shab ki tanhai mein ab to akasr
usne mujhe dar-asl kabhi chaha hi nahin tha
ghar aap hi jagmaga uThega
ghair mumkin hai tere ghar ke gulabon ka shumar
bas ye hua ki usne takalluf se baat ki
wo to KHush-bu hai hawaon mein bikhar jaega
isi tarah se agar chahta raha paiham
palaT kar phir yahin aa jaenge hum
