Rampur, Uttar pradesh, India
chehre pe mere rang pareshaniyon ka hai
be-his o kaj-fahm o la-parwa kahe
ek yaad thi kisi ki jo baadal bani rahi
jis ko dekho zard chehra aankh pathrai hui
tum ek aise shaKHs ko pahchante ho ya nahin
nam bhi achchha sa tha chehra bhi tha mahtab sa
tum agar chaho kabhi biphra samundar dekhna
umr bhar aankhon ka darwaza khula rahna hi tha
ye marhale bhi mohabbat ke bab mein aae
jab zara hui aahaT shaKH par hile patte
wada jo tha nibah ka tumne wafa nahin kiya
nahr jis lashkar ki nigrani mein tab thi ab bhi hai
hamare qaul o amal mein tazad kitna hai
aankh barsi hai tere nam pe sawan ki tarah
hum hi nahin jo teri talab mein Dere Dere phirte hain
