Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
gahraiyon mein zehn ki girdab sa raha
kab nishan mera kisi ko shab-e-hasti mein mila
aadmi chaunk chuka hai magar uTTha to nahin
KHud meri aankhon se ojhal meri hasti ho gai
main hare mausamon mein jalta raha
zindagi khinch gai mujhse tere abru ki tarah
meri judaiyon se wo mil kar nahin gaya
saya koi main apne hi paikar se nikalun
aag se sairab dasht-e-zindagani ho gaya
mana ki musht-e-KHak se baDh kar nahin hun main
dida-e-sang mein binai kahan se aae
zaKHm-e-dil aur hara KHun-e-tamanna se hua
hum karen baat dalilon se to radd hoti hai
kya bhala mujhko parakhne ka natija nikla
zindagi KHwab ki tarah dekhi
