Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
kaun kahta hai ki mahrumi ka shikwa na karo
baad-e-saba ye zulm KHuda-ra na kijiyo
bazm-e-takallufat sajaane mein rah gaya
ai dil KHushi ka zikr bhi karne na de mujhe
gudaz-e-dil se mila sozish-e-jigar se mila
sitam ki tegh ye kahti hai sar na uncha kar
baDe adab se ghurur-e-sitam-garan bola
be-sahaaron ka intizam karo
pi kar chain agar aaya bhi kitni der ko aaega
aabaad rahenge virane shadab rahengi zanjiren
dar-o-rasan ne kis ko chuna dekhte chalen
tamam raat aansuon se gham ujalta raha
lahu se apne zamin lala-zar dekhte the
is diwane dil ko dekho kya shewa apnae hai
chahe tan man sab jal jae
