kaliyon ko mere phul mere aashiyan ko
tada hai saiqon ne mere gulistan ko

ek khana-e-khuda tujhe saunpa tha ai sanam
karta hai kaun tark phir aise makan ko

tuba-qadan-e-shahar-e-karachi ne sar-basar
sar par utha ke rakkha hai is aasman ko

pir-e-falak hai sine mein patthar tera ki dil
kal khak mein mila diya kaise jawan ko

jannat dikha di shaikh ko saqi ne jite ji
hazrat salam kar gae pir-e-mughan ko

jhuti sahi mili hai mohabbat mujhe zarur
aabaad rakhe haq mere in dostan ko

kya kya zabanon ko liye daman mein baithi hai
ya-rab ata hon wusaten urdu zaban ko
