Fatehpur, Uttar pradesh, India
qadmon se mere gard-e-safar kaun le gaya
barq ka Thik agar nishana ho
rakhta nahin hai dasht sarokar aab se
wahi sahil wahi manjdhaar mujhko
kahne sunne ka ajab donon taraf josh raha
shakl sahra ki hamesha jaani-pahchani rahe
Thahar Thahar ke mera intizar karta chal
past-o-buland mein jo tujhe rishta chahiye
meri giraft mein hai taer-e-KHayal mera
mazi! tujhse haal mera sharminda hai
kahin kahin se pur-asrar ho liya jae
aage aage shar phailata jata hun
hain aur kai ret ke tufan mere aage
mere lab tak jo na aai wo dua kaisi thi
tabiron se band qaba-e-KHwab khule
