Rampur, Uttar pradesh, India
ye din to sarf aap ke wadon mein ho gae
hue numud jo pistan to sharm kha ke kaha
angDai bhi wo lene na pae uTha ke hath
na ban aaya jab un ko koi jawab
ek baat likhi hai kya hi maine
chheD har waqt ki nahin jati
tujhse hi chhupaunga gham apna
ku-e-jaanan mein gar ab jaen bhi to kya dekhen
bahr-e-hasti se kuch hai darpesh
uThta hun uski bazm se jab ho ke na-umid
tera milna to hai mushkil magar itna to hua
kis ka hai intizar kahan dhyan hai laga
jo jo maze kiye hain zaban se main kya kahun
mere milne se jo yun hath uTha-baiTha tu
bosa to us lab-e-shirin se kahan milta hai
