Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
taKHil ka dar khole hue sham khaDi hai
tapish se phir naghma-e-junun ki surud-o-chang-o-rabab TuTe
kahan tak kawish-e-isbaat-e-paiham
bu-e-gul raqs mein hai baad-e-KHizan raqs mein hai
mara hamein is daur ki aasan-talbi ne
jazba-e-be-karana
hikayat-e-gurezan
wo jis ka intizar tha
sang-e-jaan
din ka karb
kabhi ishq saz-e-hayat tha kabhi soz-e-dil ne jala diya
zindagi tu ne to sach hai ki wafa humse na ki
KHwab to KHwab hain pal bhar mein bikhar jate hain
hamin se anjuman-e-ishq motabar Thahri
muD ke dekha to hamein chhoD ke jati thi hayat
