Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
ghairon ko shab-e-wasl bulane se gharaz
naseh ki shikayat wahi zaKHm-e-jaan hai
mehrab-o-musalla aur zahid bhi wahi
daman se gul-e-taza mahakte nikle
lo jaiye bas KHuda hamara hafiz
afsana-e-yar bahr-e-waslat hai laziz
nahaq tha qalaq mujhe ghurur-e-islam
duniya hai ajab bu-qalamun zid-amoz
har tarah se zaea hai yahan har auqat
ye wahm-e-dui dil se juda karna tha
bano ne kaha qatra nahin shir ka hai
is ahd mein ehtisab-e-imani kya
is bazm se maidan mein jaana hoga
ai abr kahan tak tere raste dekhen
wo waqt-e-shabab wo zamana na raha
