Barabanki, Uttar pradesh, India
swang bharta hun tere shahr mein saudai ka
kisi dasht ka lab-e-KHushk hun jo na pae muzhda-e-ab tak
dil husn ko dan de raha hun
jo baat dil mein thi wo kab zaban par aai
baja ye raunaq-e-mahfil magar kahan hain wo log
ahl-e-dil ne ishq mein chaha tha jaisa ho gaya
kal nashat-e-qurb se mausam bahaar-andaza tha
mujhko dushwar hua jis ka nazara tanha
is aankh mein KHwab-e-naz ho ja
main usko bhul gaya tha wo yaad sa aaya
naqsh-e-diwar wo surat bhi gai
wo log bhi hain jo maujon se Dar gae honge
mila jo kaam gham-e-motabar banane ka
aaj to nahin milta or-chhor dariya ka
har aankh ka hasil duri hai
