Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
tha aadam-e-KHaki ghazab be-zinhaar
hai mehr-e-karam gunah-gari meri
ye shahr buland aalam-e-baala se tha
dil der-guzari se hai aawand-e-namak
kal tak thi KHuld KHana-zad-e-dehli
KHud rafta ho badmast ho kaisa hai mizaj
masjid mein na ja wan nahin hone ka nibah
zuhhad ka ghaflat se hai aurad-o-sujud
din hi behosh hai na duniya behosh
be-barg-o-nawa ki sher-KHwani malum
gahe to karam hum pe bhi farmaen aap
yan hum ko diya kya jo wahan par ho nigah
duniya mein qalaq kya hai sarasar hai KHak
kya lene su-e-jah-o-hasham jaenge
kya jaaniye ulfat ka hai kis se aaghaz
