ek hujum-e-be-karan
shahar ki saDkon pe galiyon mein rawan
din ke hangamon ko rakhta hai jawan
ek jaanib silsila-e-ha-e-imaraat-e-buland
jin ke minare falak se mil gae hain ja-ba-ja
shahar ki satwat ke azmat ke nishan
dusri jaanib hai bosida makanon ki qatar
muddaton se gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar
hai us aabaadi mein jin ki nauha-KHwan
ai karachi ai nigar-e-jaan-sitan
go tere ruKH par khuli hai chandni
teri galiyon mein andheri raat hai
