Kolkata, West Bengal, India
nishan-e-manzil-e-jaanan mile mile na mile
kuchh samajh kar hi hua hun mauj-e-dariya ka harif
wahshat us but ne taghaful jab kiya apna shiar
dil toD diya tumne mera ab joD chuke tum TuTe ko
sach kaha hai ki ba-ummid hai duniya qaim
KHayal tak na kiya ahl-e-anjuman ne zara
qadrdani ki kaifiyat malum
humne aalam se bewafai ki
tumhaara muddaa hi jab samajh mein kuchh nahin aaya
tu humse hai bad-guman sad afsos
baDha hangama-e-shauq is qadar bazm-e-harifan mein
jo giraftar tumhaara hai wahi hai aazad
dil ko hum kab tak bachae rakhte har aaseb se
tha qafas ka KHayal daman-gir
tera marna ishq ka aaghaz tha
