Barabanki, Uttar pradesh, India
zindagi maut ke pahlu mein bhali lagti hai
salim dasht-e-tamanna mein kaun hai kis ka
tark un se rasm-o-rah-e-mulaqat ho gai
ishq mein jis ke ye ahwal bana rakkha hai
KHud apni lau mein tha mehrab-e-jaan mein jalta tha
ban ke duniya ka tamasha moatabar ho jaenge
ye KHwab aur bhi dekhenge raat baqi hai
mane to kis ki diwana mane
baiThe hain sunahri kashti mein aur samne nila pani hai
wasl o fasl ki har manzil mein shamil ek majburi thi
ek KHushbu dil-o-jaan se aai
salim dil ko mayassar sakun zara na hua
jo aankhon ke taqaze hain wo nazzare banata hun
kuchh hain manzar haal ke kuchh KHwab mustaqbil ke hain
samaaton ko amin-e-nawa-e-raaz kiya
