Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
bazar-e-arzu mein kaTi ja rahi hai umr
isi liye to haar ka hua nahin malal tak
sab mojazon ke bab mein ye mojaza bhi ho
sar pe suraj hai to phir chhanw se mahzuz na ho
dene wale tu mujhe nind na de KHwab to de
aahan o sang ko zahrab-e-fana chaT gaya
chaman ujaDne walo tumhein KHuda samjhe
ai sham-e-hijr-e-yar meri tu gawahi de
dhund mein kho ke rah gain suraten mehr-o-mah si
saDak ke par chala ja raha hai bachta hua
un se bhi puchhiye kabhi apni zamin ka karb
kya DhunDne nikli hai kisi qais ko pagal
libas dekh ke itna hamein gharib na jaan
KHayal aata hai akasr utar phenkun badan
tu ne bhi sare zaKHm kisi taur sah liye
