Bareilly, Uttar pradesh, India
shadid pyas thi phir bhi chhua na pani ko
aandhiyan aati thin lekin kabhi aisa na hua
ye kya jagah hai dosto ye kaun sa dayar hai
ye qafile yaadon ke kahin kho gae hote
ghar ki tamir tasawwur hi mein ho sakti hai
in dinon main bhi hun kuchh kar-e-jahan mein masruf
ek hi miTTi se hum donon bane hain lekin
chal chal ke thak gaya hai ki manzil nahin koi
koi naya makin nahin aaya to hairat kya
ab to le de ke yahi kaam hai in aaankhon ka
ab raat ki diwar ko Dhana hai zaruri
na KHush-guman ho is par tu ai dil-e-sada
