Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
raat ke andheron ko raushni wo kya dega
dhup mein gham ki mere sath jo aaya hoga
gulshan ko bahaaron ne is tarah nawaza hai
wo aaj bhi qarib se kuchh kah ke haT gae
phulon se badan un ke kanTe hain zabanon mein
pyas sadiyon ki hai lamhon mein bujhana chahe
saman to gaya tha magar ghar bhi le gaya
aisi nahin hai baat ki qad apne ghaT gae
