Bareilly, Uttar pradesh, India
lahje ka rang lafz ki KHushbu bhi dekh le
dil ke shajar ko KHun se gulnar dekh kar
oDhi rida-e-dard bhi haalat ki tarah
sae jo sang-e-rah the raste se haT gae
bechain hun KHunaba-fishani mein ghira hun
yaadon ki gunj zehn se bahar nikaliye
kyun jal-bujhe kahin to giraftar bolte
sine ki aag aatish-e-mahshar ho jis tarah
tanhai ke shoalon pe machalne ke liye tha
mahka hai zaKHm zaKHm hawaen hain manchali
kufe ke qarib ho gaya hai
itne dukhi hain hum ko masarrat bhi gham bane
ab kya gila karen ki muqaddar mein kuchh na tha
ashkon mein qalam Dubo raha hai
