Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan
shahar mein rang hai na KHushbu hai
aap kyun chheDte hain dipak rag
ser-shikami ka bhuk se hai milap
chanaren wadiyon mein mushtail hain
kyun baiTh gae ghubar se hum
KHwahishon ki maut ka yaro bhala chaha karo
teri nigah se tujhko KHabar hai ki kya hua
chaman-bandi pe hai mahshar bapa kya
inki jab nukta-wari yaad aai
dhundla diya zist ka tasawwur
suraj ki kiran ka shoabada hai
wo kahan mujh pe jafa karta tha
mathe par Tika sandal ka ab dil ke karan rahta hai
jaen ghuD-dauD par ki khelen tash
