Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
is raaz se waqif nahin afzal ye zamana
uski KHushbu se moattar hai meri tanhai
dikha na KHwab hasin ai nasib rahne de
ghamon ka ek tufan dil ke andar shor karta hai
hamari quwwat-e-parwaz ka sani nahin koi
main zaban rakhte hue KHamosh hun
jinhen zamir ki daulat KHuda ne baKHshi hai
sher ki main radif ban jaun
chal rahe hain qatar mein suraj
dasht mein tapte ghubaron se tayammum kar ke
ab bhi raaten meri mahakti hain
hain aandhiyon mein bhi raushan charagh-e-haq afzal
lab hamare KHamosh rahte hain
hijr ke maron ki taqdir bhi kya hoti hai
jo muzayyan hon tere husn ki tabani se
