Ambala, Haryana, India
ab apni haqiqat bhi saghar be-rabt kahani lagti hai
jo chaman ki hayat ko Das le
maut kahte hain jis ko ai saghar
zindagi jabr-e-musalsal ki tarah kaTi hai
hashr mein kaun gawahi meri dega saghar
main aadmi hun koi farishta nahin huzur
jin se zinda ho yaqin o aagahi ki aabru
jhilmilate hue ashkon ki laDi TuT gai
chhalke hue the jam pareshan thi zulf-e-yar
charagh-e-tur jalao baDa andhera hai
kanTe to KHair kanTe hain is ka gila hi kya
zulf-e-barham ki jab se shanasa hui
ab na aaenge ruThne wale
maine jin ke liye rahon mein bichhaya tha lahu
hum banaenge yahan saghar nai taswir-e-shauq
