Ranchi, Jharkhand, India
zaban-e-KHalq ko chup aastin ko tar pa kar
raat hui phir humse ek nadani thoDi si
na koi naqsh na paikar sarab chaaron taraf
bas ek bund thi auraq-e-jaan mein phail gai
ab yahi behtar hai naqsh-e-ab hone de mujhe
main bhi aawara hun tere sat aawara hawa
mauj-e-KHayal-e-yar gham-e-asar aai hai
ajib dhund hai aaankhon ko sujhta bhi nahin
dil-e-aina-saman para para kar ke dekha jae
bhuli-bisri baat hai lekin ab tak bhul na pae hum
nairang-e-jahan rang-e-tamasha hai to kya hai
dil hi girdab-e-tamanna hai yahin Dubte hain
