Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
zindagi mein kisi ruKH ka kisi dukh ka hona
socho to kuchh na samjho samjho to kuchh na bolo
dil bhar aae to samundar nahin dekhe jate
Dar ye hai bazuon mein mom ki surat na pighal jae kahin
patthar se kya shakl nikale ye hum kya jaanen
rang sa phirta hai zer-e-asman dekha hua
gham faraham hain magar unki farawani nahin
dam sadh ke dekhun tujhe jhapkun na palak bhi
lab siye dekha karun socha karun
apne dil ka haal na kahna kaisa lagta hai
ubhri na koi shakl na paikar nazar aaya
wo charcha ji ke jhanjhaT ka hua hai
tund-KHui pe tanz kar jaun
baat se baat nikalne ke wasile na rahe
sitam-taraaz talak zaKHm-ashna bhi to ho
