Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan
fughan se tark-e-fughan tak hazar tishna-labi hai
gham ka ye saliqa bhi rah gaya hai ab hum tak
fitna-saman hi nahin fitna-e-saman nikle
nim-shab aatish-e-fariyaad-e-asiran raushan
tera KHayal bhi hai waz-e-gham ka pas bhi hai
wahi yaksaniyat-e-sham-o-sahar hai ki jo thi
mahrumi ke dukh aur tanhai ke ranj uThae
jab se hai wo raunaq-e-mahfil aankhon mein
lai na saba bu-e-chaman ab ke baras bhi
kuchh bhi ho mera haal numayan to nahin hai
ye aur baat hai ki madawa-e-gham na tha
afsana-e-hayat-e-pareshan ke sath sath
kuchh naqsh teri yaad ke baqi hain abhi tak
