Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
har ek raste ka ham-safar raha hun main
jabin ka chand banun aankh ka sitara banun
apne hi sae mein tha mein shayad chhupa hua
wo raushni hai kahan jis ke baad saya nahin
kya adu kya dost sab ko bha gain ruswaiyan
yaadon ka ajib silsila hai
wo roz-o-shab bhi nahin hain wo rang-o-bu bhi nahin
main ki ab teri hi diwar ka ek saya hun
KHirad bhi na-mehrban rahegi shuur bhi sar-garan rahega
jangal uga tha hadd-e-nazar tak sadaon ka
rang-dar-rang hijabaat uThane honge
do ghaDi baiThe the zulf-e-ambarin ki chhanw mein
is auj par na uchhaalo mujhe hawa kar ke
teri KHatir ye fusun humne jaga rakkha hai
hawas luT liye shorish-e-tamanna ne
