Barabanki, Uttar pradesh, India
jalte diyon mein jalte gharon jaisi zau kahan
tujhko barbaad to hona tha bahar-haal KHumar
na to hosh se taaruf na junun se aashnai
o jaane wale aa ki tere intizar mein
wahi phir mujhe yaad aane lage hain
had se baDhe jo ilm to hai jahl dosto
raushni ke liye dil jalana paDa
hum bhi kar len jo raushni ghar mein
charaghon ke badle makan jal rahe hain
haal-e-gham kah ke gham baDha baiThe
guzre hain mai-kade se jo tauba ke baad hum
raat baqi thi jab wo bichhDe the
mohabbat ko samajhna hai to naseh KHud mohabbat kar
sahra ko bahut naz hai virani pe apni
ab in hudud mein laya hai intizar mujhe
