Jalandhar, Punjab, India
dil ko virana kahoge mujhe malum na tha
daur-e-rafta dekh leta hun gulistan dekh kar
kisi ke ru-ba-ru baiTha raha main be-zaban ho kar
arz-e-hunar bhi wajh-e-shikayat ho gai
koi dawa na de sake mashwara-e-dua diya
kam-baKHt dil bura hua teri aah aah ka
uTho ab der hoti hai wahan chal kar sanwar jaana
kal zarur aaoge lekin aaj kya karun
aa hi gaya wo mujhko lahad mein utarne
maston pe ungliyan na uThao bahaar mein
in talKH aansuon ko na yun munh bana ke pi
ishq ke hathon ye sari aalam-arai hui
ye kya maqam hai wo nazare kahan gae
jahan qatre ko tarsaya gaya hun
dur se aankhen dikhati hai nai duniya mujhe
