Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
tirgi hai sahn mein tabindagi diwar par
KHud apni zat ki tashhir ku-ba-ku kiye jaen
aankh tishna bhi nahin honT sawali bhi nahin
dekha use dil-gir to dil-gir hua main
libas tan pe salamat hain hath Khaali hain
asir-e-halqa-e-zanjir-e-jaan hua hai ye dil
sae ki ummid thi tarikiyan phaila gaya
hawa-o-hirs ki duniya mein dar-ba-dar hue hum
tamasha is baras aisa hua hai
mila bhi kya use tauhin-e-rang-o-bu kar ke
saba mein tha na dil-awezi-e-bahaar mein tha
KHud se na-KHush ghair se bezar hona tha hue
apne andar se jo bahar nikle
sail-e-bala-e-gham na puchh kitne gharaunde Dah gae
maut se yari na thi hasti se be-zari na thi
