Rampur, Uttar pradesh, India
tere taqazon pe chehre badal raha hun main
banae zehn parindon ki ye qatar mera
nazar ki zad mein sar koi nahin hai
is hadse ko dekh ke aankhon mein dard hai
is bulandi pe kahan the pahle
wo taDap jae ishaara koi aisa dena
wo mera yar tha mujhko na ye KHayal aaya
rangaten masum chehron ki bujha di jaengi
kabhi qarib kabhi dur ho ke rote hain
mayassar ho jo lamha dekhne ko
har ek raat ko mahtab dekhne ke liye
fikr mein hain hamein bujhane ki
KHat uske apne hath ka aata nahin koi
kya kya nawah-e-chashm ki ranaiyan gain
chalte chalte sal kitne ho gae
