Patna, Bihar, India
mujhko koi bhi sila milne mein dushwari na thi
ku-ruswai se uTh kar dar tak tanha gaya
yaad ka phul sar-e-sham khila to hoga
dil mein utroge to ek ju-e-wafa paoge
gham se bikhra na paemal hua
kisi habib ne lafzon ka haar bheja hai
basar ho yun ki har ek dard hadisa na lage
KHwab ki rah mein aae na dar-o-baam kabhi
dil wo kisht-e-arzu tha jis ki paimaish na ki
husn ke sehr o karamat se ji Darta hai
ummid o yas ne kya kya na gul khilae hain
karen na yaad shab-e-hadisa hua so hua
KHair se dil ko teri yaad se kuchh kaam to hai
gaya wo KHwab-e-haqiqat ko ru-ba-ru kar ke
dilon mein aag lagao nawa-kashi hi karo
