Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India
hon lakh zulm magar bad-dua nahin denge
kali raaton ko bhi rangin kaha hai maine
ise saman-e-safar jaan ye jugnu rakh le
chamakte lafz sitaron se chhin lae hain
aankh mein pani rakho honTon pe chingari rakho
ja ke ye kah de koi shoalon se chingari se
tumhaare nam par maine har aafat sar pe rakkhi thi
na ham-safar na kisi ham-nashin se niklega
sirf sach aur jhuT ki mizan mein rakkhe rahe
shahr kya dekhen ki har manzar mein jale paD gae
sawal ghar nahin buniyaad par uThaya hai
sath manzil thi magar KHauf-o-KHatar aisa tha
ye sard raaten bhi ban kar abhi dhuan uD jaen
hausle zindagi ke dekhte hain
mere karobar mein sab ne baDi imdad ki
