Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
ek raat mein sau bar jala aur bujha hun
aas hi se dil mein paida zindagi hone lagi
ye karen aur wo karen aisa karen waisa karen
nigah o dil bhi qadam ki tarah mila ke chale
ye inayaten ghazab ki ye bala ki mehrbani
ek jhonka is tarah zanjir-e-dar khaDka gaya
akasr is tarah se bhi raat basar hoti hai
kitni sharmili lajili hai hawa barsat ki
din Dhala jata hai sham aati hai ghabraata hun main
