Fatehpur, Uttar pradesh, India
mili rah wo ki farar ka na pata chala
nayab chiz kaun si bazar mein nahin
rah se mujhko haTa kar le gaya
peD agar uncha milta hai
baDha jab uski tawajjoh ka silsila kuchh aur
nahin hai bahr-o-bar mein aisa mere yar koi
faraKH-dast ka ye husn-e-tang-dasti hai
sada wo deta bhi hoga to kya KHabar mujhko
jhalakti hai meri aankhon mein bedari si koi
maujudgi ka uski asar hone laga hai
ubal paDa yak-ba-yak samundar to maine dekha
chhat pe badli jhuki si rahti hai
mujhe ghubar uData hua sawar laga
meri sifat ka jab usne etiraf kiya
na mera zor na bas ab kya hai
