Karachi, Urdu Nazam By Abdur Rasheed

dhuen aur dhul mein kala gulab
yahan par satwan dar ism se mahrum
bose ki wiladat ke liye sukhe hue honTon ki shiknen
barf ki qashen
zamin ka banjh-pan apna hisar
shunida na-shunida raston ki garm raaten
jism ke baalon ka uni coat

sindh ke dariya ki lahron ki rawani
do taraf kelon ke baghiche
nigahon ki bikharti ret mein tamir hote barber
sah-manzila ashjar ke pichhe larazta Tram ka loha
guzarti raat ki charbi pe jamte aaine se din
KHas-o-KHashak ki baDon ke pichhe sim-zada umron
ke buTe
pur-shikan choghon mein Dhalte mas be-girya

yahi gardan pile harf ki zanjir
gamlon mein ugae sare paude
qufl ban kar samne hain
jism ke aaTe mein donon hath
din aur raat din aur raat gundhte hain
pahli suraj ki kiran ke sath
machheron ke tane rise
samundar ki jaDi hansuli pe girte hain
