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