Bagalkot, Karnataka, India
kuchh nahin hai to ye andesha ye Dar kaisa hai
kal raat mere sath ajab hadisa hua
is ghani shab ka sawera nahin aane wala
kyun mere dukh chunte ho
roz o shab is soch mein Duba rahta hun
haya bhi aankh mein waraftagi bhi
bimar sa hai jism-e-sahar kanp raha hai
jab tu mujhse ruTh gaya tha
koi diya kisi chaukhaT pe ab na jalne ka
na Dhalti sham na ThanDi sahar mein rakkha hai
dasht mein ghas ka manzar bhi mujhe chahiye hai
shanaKHt miT gai chehre pe gard itni thi
shaeri mazhar-e-ahwal-e-darun hai yun hai
dasht mein ye jaan-fazan manzar kahan se aa gae
muddat hui rahat bhara manzar nahin utra
