Aligarh, Uttar pradesh, India
samundar tishnagi wahshat rasai chashma-e-lab tak
ragon mein raat se ye KHun sa rawan hai kya
is soch mein hi marhala-e-shab guzar gaya
inayat hai teri bas ek ehsan aur itna kar
mere suKHan pe ek ehsan ab ke sal to kar
hamare zehn mein ye baat bhi nahin aai
main nahin rota hun ab ye aankh roti hai mujhe
ba-nam-e-ishq ek ehsan sa abhi tak hai
KHala sa Thahra hua hai ye chaar-su kaisa
nasib-e-chashm mein likkha hai gar pani nahin hona
yaad ki basti ka yun to har makan Khaali hua
bas saliqe se zara barbaad hona hai tumhein
badal jaega sab kuchh ye tamasha bhi nahin hoga
nadi thi kashtiyan thin chandni thi jharna tha
ghubar-e-dard mein rah-e-najat aisa hi
