Rudauli, Uttar pradesh, India
KHabar sunega meri maut ki to KHush hoga
bujhi bujhi hai sada-e-naghma kahin kahin hain rabab raushan
kisi pe koi bharosa kare to kaise kare
kya KHabar thi ki kabhi be-sar-o-saman honge
aur koi jo sune KHun ke aansu roe
wo rind kya ki jo pite hain be-KHudi ke liye
main bhag ke jaunga kahan apne watan se
ab KHanuman-KHarab ki manzil yahan nahin
hazar chaha lagaen kisi se dil lekin
badal ke rakh denge ye tasawwur ki aadmi ka waqar kya hai
zarre ka raaz mehr ko samjhana chahiye
gunjta shahron mein tanhai ka sannaTa to hai
is darja hua KHush ki Dara dil se bahut main
dasht-e-wafa mein Thokaren khane ka shauq tha
fareb kha ke bhi sharminda-e-sukun na hue
