Rampur, Uttar pradesh, India
ghuncha-e-wasl sar-e-sham khila de aa kar
nae hain wasl ke mausam mohabbaten bhi nai
hamein nasib koi dida-war nahin hota
kisi talab mein hua main na dar-ba-dar ab ke
wo raqs karti mausamon ki shoKHiyan nahin rahin
lab-e-KHamosh se usne KHush-amdid kaha
mujhe ehsas ye pal pal raha hai
dam sau rakhte hain lafzon mein suKHnawar mujhse
koi mausam bhi hasb-e-haal nahin
garche baatil ko na-pasand raha
nae uslub mein zinda hue hain
sakin hai koi aur watan aur kisi ka
ai meri aankho ye be-sud justuju kaisi
na KHud-sari mein hasin roz-o-shab guzara kar
meri chahaton ke sawal par koi muskura ke chala gaya
