Rudauli, Uttar pradesh, India
wahi madar-e-tamanna wahi sitara-e-dil
kahta hun main ki ghair ne hargiz kaha nahin
giran tha matn mushkil aur bhi tabir paDh lena
talaf karegi kab tak aarzu ki jaan aarzu
is be-KHudi mein ruKHsat KHuddari ho gai hai
sab hai zer-e-bahs jo zahir hai ya poshida hai
ek nashtar-e-nigah hai is se ziyaada kya
hum aadam-zad jo hain roz-e-awwal se kami hai ye
ye nashsha-e-agahi KHatarnak hai sar mein
us se mil kar bhi KHalish dil mein raha karti hai
gudaz tak hi KHarabi hunar sambhaalega
kuchh gharaz hum ko nahin hai ki kahan le jae
hone ko ab kya dekhiye kya kuchh hai aur kya kuchh nahin
kaman saunp ke dushman ko apne lashkar ki
mohabbat chahti hai jis ko afsana bana dena
