Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
jaan jae par ummid na jaegi kabhi
kis tarah kahun aa bhi kahin uzr na kar
aaluda KHayalat mein tere hun mudam
us KHitte ki ja aalam-e-baala mein nahin
hai dosti-e-al-e-aba rone se
ai parda-nashin sahl hua ye ishkal
duniya ka ajab rang se dekha angez
is waqt zamane mein baham aise hain
zholida muamma hai jahan-e-pur-pech
gardan ko jhuka deta hai adna ehsan
munh gesu-e-pur-KHam se na moDun kab tak
lazim hai ki fikr-e-ruKH-e-dilbar chhoDun
masjid ko diya chhoD riya ki KHatir
yan nafs ki shoKHi se hai majnun laila
har zaKHm-e-jigar khaya hai dil par tan kar
