Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
hua hai ahl-e-sahil par asar kya
jita hun jo mar mar ke ye jina to nahin hai
taskin de sakenge na jam-o-subu mujhe
taswir-e-zindagi mein naya rang bhar gae
phir uThi aaj wo nigah-e-naz
mohabbat ka un ko yaqin aa chala hai
aghyar ka shikwa nahin is ahd-e-hawas mein
KHud-shanasi thi justuju teri
kaun samjhe hum pe kya guzri hai naqsh
shauq-o-arman ki be-qarari ko
dil pe lagte hain saikaDon nashtar
aarzu hai ki ab meri hasti
jab kabhi aalam-e-tasawwur mein
apni fitrat pe naz hai mujhko
