Rudauli, Uttar pradesh, India
aati hai zindagi mein KHizan bhi bahaar bhi
uski chashm-e-karam thi hayat-afrin KHushk patton pe jaise nikhaar aa gaya
kya karen tadbir-e-wahshat ai dil-e-diwana hum
dil ko bacha ke lae the sare jahan se hum
lutf zindagani ka shauq-e-arzu mein hai
aaj kuchh kahne ko thi shoKHi-e-tadbir meri
dil mein un ko basa ke dekh liya
ab apne des ki aab-o-hawa hum ko nahin bhati
jawan tha dil na tha andesha-e-sud-o-ziyan pahle
har tar-e-nafas Khaar hai malum nahin kyun
