Jalandhar, Punjab, India
wafa jis se ki bewafa ho gaya
dil ne aankhon tak aane mein itna waqt liya
wo sarKHushi de ki zindagi ko shabab se bahara-yab kar de
qaem kiya hai maine adam ke wajud ko
tasawwur mein bhi ab wo be-naqab aate nahin mujh tak
KHuda ko na taklif de Dubne mein
aane wale kisi tufan ka rona ro kar
jis ne is daur ke insan kiye hain paida
mohabbat karo aur nibaho to puchhun
hai muddaa-e-ishq hi duniya-e-muddaa
aane wale jaane wale har zamane ke liye
ba-zahir sadgi se muskura kar dekhne walo
in talKH aansuon ko na yun munh bana ke pi
aankh kam-baKHt se us bazm mein aansu na ruka
bhulai nahin ja sakengi ye baaten
