Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
kijiye kyun murda armanon se chheD
ek neamat tere mahjur ke hath aai hai
bahki bahki nigah-e-naz KHuda KHair kare
na dil mein lahu hai na aankhon mein aansu
hum wahshiyon ka maskan kya puchhta hai zalim
kuchh abr ko bhi zid hai manzar meri tauba se
mera beDi pahanna tha ki duniya ki hawa badli
daman-o-jeb-o-gareban ka nahin koi malal
sada waraq jawab mein ek la ke de gaya
jaane wale ja KHuda hafiz magar ye soch le
ahl-e-mahshar dekh lun qatil ko to pahchan lun
ye insan nadida ulfat ka mara
mujhe miTa ke wo yun baiThe muskuraate hain
chune the phul muqaddar se ban gae kanTe
miTane wale hamara hi ghar miTana tha
