Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
tere mazi ke sath dafn kahin
nahin nahin main bahut KHush raha hun tere baghair
kis ajab saat-e-nayab mein aaya hua hun
manzaron se bahalna zaruri nahin ghar se bahar nikalna zaruri nahin
ek chubhan hai ki jo bechain kiye rahti hai
rakh ke Dher pe kya shoala-bayani karte
har ek ranj usi bab mein kiya hai raqam
kisi aahaT mein aahaT ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin ab
teri surat mein tujhe DhunD raha hun main bhi
use bataya nahin hijr mein jo haal hua
aabaad mujh mein tere siwa aur kaun hai?
tab-e-yak-lahza kahan husn-e-junun-KHez ke pesh
ye umr ki hai basar kuchh ajab tawazun se
yunhi ruka tha dam lene ko, tumne kya samjha?
wo jis ne mujhko tere hijr mein bahaal rakha
