Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
hijr ke din to hue KHatm baDi dhum ke sath
main ghaTta ja raha hun apne andar
juz hamare kaun aaKHir dekhta is kaam ko
bujha rakhe hain ye kis ne sabhi charagh-e-hawas
jo ek dam mein tamam ruhon ko KHak kar de
bhare bazar mein baiTha hun liye jins-e-wajud
aa raha hoga wo daman se hawa bandhe hue
ab is ke baad kuchh bhi nahin iKHtiyar mein
ek barf si jami rahe diwar-o-baam par
chaTaKH ke TuT gai hai to ban gai aawaz
na jaane kaisi girani uThae phirta hun
zindagi ne jo kahin ka nahin rakkha mujhko
kitna mushkil ho gaya hun hijr mein uske so wo
meri miTTi mein koi aag si lag jati hai
ye kaisi aag hai mujh mein ki ek muddat se
