Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
dard hai ki naghma hai faisla kiya jae
dil agar kuchh mang lene ki ijazat mangta
nazar mein nit-nai hairaniyan liye phiriye
jis taraf nazar kije wahshaton ka saman hai
yaad kya dast-e-hunar hai ki sanwarta gaya main
be-dili se hansne ko KHush-dili na samjha jae
adakari mein bhi sau karb ke pahlu nikal aae
ishq ne hum ko junun-asar aisa kar diya
humse na puchh jaegi hijr ki rahguzar kahan
KHud hi ruThe ho to phir is ka mudawa kyon ho
jaise yaad-e-imbisat-o-gham shakebai ke baad
ghar ki jab yaad sada de to palaT kar aa jaen
ye bhi kya kam hai ki hum betab haalat mein rahe
kaun guman yaqin bana kaun sa ghaw bhar gaya
koi hai jo shikast-e-zabt-e-gham hone nahin deta
