Kolkata, West Bengal, India
poshida dekhti hai kisi ki nazar mujhe
kahte ho ab mere mazlum pe bedad na ho
zamin roi hamare haal par aur aasman roya
shauq phir kucha-e-jaanan ka satata hai mujhe
aah-e-shab nala-e-sahar le kar
hue hain gum jis ki justuju mein usi ki hum justuju karenge
nahin ki ishq nahin hai gul o saman se mujhe
kisi surat se us mahfil mein ja kar
aap apna ru-e-zeba dekhiye
talKHi-kash-e-naumidi-e-didar bahut hain
aaina-e-KHayal tha aks-pazir raaz ka
aur ishrat ki tamanna kya karen
kya hai ki aaj chalte ho katra ke rah se
jaan uski adaon par nikalti hi rahegi
tere aashufta se kya haal-e-betabi bayan hoga
