Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
wo ek KHwab jo dekha gaya tha ujlat mein
zindagi ko ek KHwab-e-raegan samjha tha main
jaise yaad-e-imbisat-o-gham shakebai ke baad
hai jabr waqt ka qissa ajab sunae kaun
kabhi hawa to kabhi KHak-e-rahguzar hona
ye hadisa mujhe hairan kar gaya sar-e-sham
aawaz mein aawaz milate hi rahe hum
KHun se jab jala diya ek diya bujha hua
uski KHwahish hai yahi harf-e-wazahat ke baghair
hamari tarah koi dusra hua bhi nahin
ishq ne hum ko junun-asar aisa kar diya
main kab se apni talash mein hun mila nahin hun
yaad kya dast-e-hunar hai ki sanwarta gaya main
dil agar kuchh mang lene ki ijazat mangta
zindagi ke daman mein rang-o-nur-o-nikhat kya
