Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
shaguftagi se gae, dil-giraftagi se gae
majlis-e-gham, na koi bazm-e-tarab, kya karte
hamein nahin aate ye kartab nae zamane wale
ye kaise malbe ke niche daba diya gaya hun
junun ke dam se aaKHir martaba kaisa mila mujhko
koi mila to kisi aur ki kami hui hai
is tarah dekhta hun udhar wo jidhar na ho
kya bataun ki jo hangama bapa hai mujh mein
apni KHabar, na us ka pata hai, ye ishq hai
KHwab mein koi mujhko aas dilane baiTha tha
kahan na-jaane chala gaya intizar kar ke
idhar kuchh din se dil ki bekali kam ho gai hai
shikast-e-KHwab ka hamein malal kyun nahin raha
mere KHwabon se ojhal us ka chehra ho gaya hai
ek tarik KHala usMein chamakta hawa main
