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
siwa hai had se ab ehsas ki girani bhi
dil-e-fasurda ko ab taqat-e-qarar nahin
wo hamein rah mein mil jaen zaruri to nahin
qatra-e-ab ko kab tak meri dharti tarse
