Hisar, Haryana, India
dur tha sahil bahut dariya bhi tughyani mein tha
mera wajud hai ek naqsh-e-ab ki surat
dur ke jalwon ki shadabi ka dil-dada na ho
kabhi dahakti kabhi mahakti kabhi machalti aai dhup
baadal ambar pe na dharti pe shajar hai baba
sim-o-zar chahe na almas-o-guhar mange hai
TuTta hun kabhi juDta hun main
bund pani ki hun thoDi si hawa hai mujh mein
main KHud gaya na uski ada le gai mujhe
har ek shaKHs KHafa mujhse anjuman mein tha
jab suKHan mauj-e-taKHayyul se rawani mange
hayat kya hai maal-e-hayat kya hoga
kanTe ko phul sang ko gauhar kaha gaya
zulmat-e-shab se ulajhna hai sahar hone tak
