Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
chaDhte hue dariya ki alamat nazar aae
mamura-e-afkar mein ek hashr bapa hai
KHarab-e-ishq sahi aalam-e-shuhud mein hun
hum sakun paenge salmaon mein kya
ashk yun bahte hain sawan ki jhaDi ho jaise
junun ka raaz mohabbat ka bhed pa na saki
ye kis maqam pe Thahra hai karwan-e-wafa
sahra-e-KHayal ka diya hun
hai ghanimat ye fareb-e-shab-e-wada ai dil
husn paband-e-hina ho jaise
har ek ghar ka daricha khula hai mere liye
har aks KHud ek aaina hai
aa tujhko KHayal mein basaun
chup ho kyun ai payambaran-e-qalam
zaKHm kuchh aise mere qalb-o-jigar ne pae
