Bareilly, Uttar pradesh, India
nazrana tere husn ko kya den ki apne pas
na KHush-guman ho is par tu ai dil-e-sada
mujhko le Duba tera shahr mein yakta hona
ab raat ki diwar ko Dhana hai zaruri
koi naya makin nahin aaya to hairat kya
shahr-e-ummid haqiqat mein nahin ban sakta
chal chal ke thak gaya hai ki manzil nahin koi
ab to le de ke yahi kaam hai in aaankhon ka
siyah raat nahin leti nam Dhalne ka
ek hi miTTi se hum donon bane hain lekin
pichhle safar mein jo kuchh bita bit gaya yaro lekin
ghar ki tamir tasawwur hi mein ho sakti hai
tanhai ki ye kaun si manzil hai rafiqo
aandhiyan aati thin lekin kabhi aisa na hua
ek bund zahr ke liye phaila rahe ho hath
