Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
baad-e-sarsar bhi qurbat ki chalti rahe din nikalta rahe sham Dhalti rahe
idrak hi muhaal hai KHwab-o-KHayal ka
KHamosh hun main lab pe shikayat to nahin hai
use betab ho kar sochti hun
agar alfaz se gham ka izala ho gaya hota
kis ko batate kis se chhupate suragh-e-dil
tum dil ki dil mein rakkho bataya nahin karo
main dariya hun magar donon taraf sahil hai tanhai
bhiga hua hai aanchal aankhon mein bhi nami hai
aankhon mein wo aaen to hansate hain mujhe KHwab
paigham-e-zindagi hai KHushi ki nawed hai
jo ba-kirdar ho usko siyani kaun kahta hai
rakkhe har ek qadam pe jo mushkil ki aagahi
wafa ke raaz se parda nahin uThaungi
hai tarjuman alam aur adib hai sardi
