Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
shauq-e-sawab kuchh nahin KHauf-e-azab kuchh nahin
kaha jhunjhla ke ahl-e-qafila se ek rahbar ne
umiden to wabasta hain abr-e-tar se
ye mai-kash kaun ba-sad laghzish-e-mastana aata hai
koi had bhi hai aaKHir imtihan ki
zindagi ek sawal hai jis ka jawab maut hai
kahani apni apni ahl-e-mahfil jab sunate hain
zaban o dahan se jo khulte nahin hain
zamane ki kashakash ka diya paiham pata mujhko
zamin par hain wo kuchh miTTi ke putle
