Kolkata, West Bengal, India
maine mana kaam hai nala dil-e-nashad ka
murawwat ka pas aur wafa ka lihaz
aaina-e-KHayal tha aks-pazir raaz ka
zamin roi hamare haal par aur aasman roya
labrez-e-haqiqat go afsana-e-musa hai
zabardasti ghazal kahne pe tum aamada ho wahshat
na wo puchhte hain na kahta hun main
zindagi apni kisi tarah basar karni hai
tu hai aur aish hai aur anjuman-arai hai
abhi hote agar duniya mein dagh-e-dehlawi zinda
mujhse jo na milte wo koi raat na thi
be-samjhe na jam-e-gham piya tha maine
kyun ghamza-e-jaan-sitan ko KHanjar na kahen
