Kanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
sahil ke tamashai har Dubne wale par
tark-e-watan ke baad hi qadr-e-watan hui
qaid-e-gham-e-hayat bhi kya chiz hai fana
gham se nazuk zabt-e-gham ki baat hai
duniya pe aisa waqt paDega ki ek din
jalwa ho to jalwa ho parda ho to parda ho
be-takalluf wo auron se hain
main uske samne se guzarta hun is liye
maujon ke ittihad ka aalam na puchhiye
aaj us se maine shikwa kiya tha shararatan
is mauj ki Takkar se sahil bhi larazta hai
is tarah rahbar ne luTa karwan
duniya-e-tasawwur hum aabaad nahin karte
yun dikhata hai aankhen hamein baghban
kuchh dard ki shiddat hai kuchh pas-e-mohabbat hai
