Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
hijr ke din to hue KHatm baDi dhum ke sath
apne jaisi koi taswir banani thi mujhe
bujha rakhe hain ye kis ne sabhi charagh-e-hawas
juz hamare kaun aaKHir dekhta is kaam ko
main ghaTta ja raha hun apne andar
jo ek dam mein tamam ruhon ko KHak kar de
charagh-e-ishq badan se laga tha kuchh aisa
kya ho gaya ki baiTh gai KHak bhi meri
bhare bazar mein baiTha hun liye jins-e-wajud
ab is ke baad kuchh bhi nahin iKHtiyar mein
wo dur tha to bahut hasraten thin pane ki
chaTaKH ke TuT gai hai to ban gai aawaz
ek barf si jami rahe diwar-o-baam par
kitna mushkil ho gaya hun hijr mein uske so wo
zindagi ne jo kahin ka nahin rakkha mujhko
