Kolkata, West Bengal, India
makan se dur kahin la-makan mein baiTh gai
aaj kuchh surat-e-aflak juda lagti hai
darun-e-zat hujum-e-azab Thahra hai
ishq mein lazzat-e-azar nikal aati hai
wo jab bhi pukarega yahan aan rahenge
aasar-e-junun be-sar-o-saman nahin hote
fasil-e-shahr se kyun sab ke sab nikal aae
ek hangama shab-o-roz bapa rahta hai
lagta hai tabahi meri qismat se lagi hai
dil ye kahta hai haar kar dekhen
main koi dasht main diwar nahin kar sakta
apne andar ke andhere ko jalaya maine
ye moajaza hai ki main raat kaT deta hun
aankhon mein shab utar gai KHwabon ka silsila raha
ye hijraton ke tamashe, ye qarz rishton ke
