Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan
raste mein luT gaya hai to kya qafila to hai
munh-band hasraton ko suKHan-ashna karo
falak ka har sitara raat ki aankhon ka moti hai
raat kitne na-tarashida guhar bhi laegi
dil ki dil ne na kahi yun to kai bar mile
jo KHayal aaya tumhaari yaad mein Dhalta raha
KHushbu-e-pairahan se sulagte rahe dimagh
rah-e-talab mein aaj ye kya moajaza hua
aao patjhaD mein kabhi haal hamara dekho
surKHi-e-sham ne yun phul bikhere dil mein
main to tanha tha magar tujhko bhi tanha dekha
kal tak kitne hangame the ab kitni KHamoshi hai
mahfilen KHwab huin rah gae tanha chehre
