Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
ek tir nahin kya teri mizhgan ki safon mein
wahima hoga yahan koi na aaya hoga
marte marte raushni ka KHwab to pura hua
dil tha pahlu mein to kahte the tamanna kya hai
tha pas-e-mizhgan-tar ek hashr barpa aur bhi
aaKHir KHud apne hi lahu mein Dub ke sarf-e-wigha hoge
tum achchhe the tumko ruswa humne kiya
kitne hi tir KHam-e-dast-o-kaman mein honge
meri surat saya-e-diwar-o-dar mein kaun hai
aaina milta to shayad nazar aate KHud ko
wo awwalin dard ki gawahi saji hui bazm-e-KHwab jaise
baja ki darpai-e-azar chashm-e-tar hai bahut
kash ek shab ke liye KHud ko mayassar ho jaen
kya bataun ki hai kis zulf ka sauda mujhko
gard-alud darida chehra yun hai mah o sal ke baad
