Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan
junun-e-awwalin shaistagi thi
safar KHud-raftagi ka bhi ajab andaz tha
gardish-e-mina-o-jam dekhiye kab tak rahe
chhalak rahi hai mai-e-nab tishnagi ke liye
ab tak sharik-e-mahfil-e-aghyar kaun hai
ek ke ghar ki KHidmat ki aur ek ke dil se mohabbat ki
raat ajab aaseb-zada sa mausam tha
kyun ai gham-e-firaq ye kya baat ho gai
yun kahne ko pairaya-e-izhaar bahut hai
ek tera gham jis ko rah-e-motabar jaanen
ye kya sitam hai koi rang-o-bu na pahchane
ye hukm hai ki andhere ko raushni samjho
jaan dena bas ek ziyan ka sauda tha
wo jo ek shakl mere chaar taraf bikhri thi
KHush jo aae the pasheman gae
