Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
har nafas waqf-e-arzu kar ke
har chand zaKHm zaKHm darida-badan rahe
dil par gahra naqsh hai sathi lakh teri danai ka
mutarannim hai meri ruh mein yun teri sada
charagh-e-fikr jalaya hai raat bhar humne
hama-tan jalwa-fishan mah-o-charaghan ki tarah
rang-birange phulon jaisi meri chanchal aas
nil-gagan par surKH parindon ki Daron ke sang
sanjh sawere panchhi gaen le kar tera nam
har kasa-e-dil kaif se sarshaar bahut hai
rup ke panw chumne wale sun le meri bani
talash karti hai tujhko meri nazar har su
kab dil ke zaKHm chaaragaron se rafu hue
