Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India
garche sahl nahin lekin tere kahne par launga
jism par khurduri si chhaal uga
bistar bichha ke raat wo kamre mein so gaya
darwaze ko piT raha hun paiham chiKH raha hun
phir se lahu lahu dar-o-diwar dekh le
ek bar phir
ek purani nazm
zahr-e-baad
azabon ka shahr
aur kuchh chaara nahin
unki yaad mein bahte aansu KHushk agar ho jaenge
uTha hi laya sabhi raste wo kandhon par
kaT aagahiyon ki fasl magar
fursat ho to ye jism bhi miTTi mein daba do
apne gale pe chalti chhuri ka bhi dhyan rakh
