Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
wahin par mera sim-tan bhi to hai
thami hui hai kahkashan apne hath se
kis par poshida aur kis pe ayan hona tha
wo mere samne malbus kya badalne laga
yak-ba-yak manzar-e-hasti ka naya ho jaana
ghar se nikla to mulaqat hui pani se
aankhon mein saughat sameTe apne ghar aate hain
kitab-e-sabz o dar-e-dastan band kiye
phir wo barsat dhyan mein aai
qasam is aag aur pani ki
dasht le jae ki ghar le jae
aae hain rang bahaali par
jab sham hui maine qadam ghar se nikala
dekha jo us taraf to badan par nazar gai
gada-e-shahr-e-ainda tahi-kasa milega
