Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
sunti rahi main sab ke dukh KHamoshi se
kya kahun us se ki jo baat samajhta hi nahin
Thes kuchh aisi lagi hai ki bikharna hai use
sukun-e-dil ke liye ishq to bahana tha
adhure lafz the aawaz ghair-wazeh thi
bichhaD raha tha magar muD ke dekhta bhi raha
pahchan jin se thi wo hawale miTa diye
raat dariche tak aa kar ruk jati hai
aankhon mein na zulfon mein na ruKHsar mein dekhen
uske piyale mein zahr hai ki sharab
kab uski fath ki KHwahish ko jit sakti thi
ulajh ke rah gae chehre meri nigahon mein
makan banate hue chhat bahut zaruri hai
koi nahin hai mere jaisa chaaron or
bhul gai hun kis se mera nata tha
