Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
bhul jaoge ki rahte the yahan dusre log
suKHan mein rang tumhaare KHayal hi ke to hain
tu unhen yaad aaegi ai juebar agle baras
hushyar hain to hum ko bahak jaana chahiye
lapaT si dagh kuhan ki taraf se aati hai
KHaraba ek din ban jae ghar aisa nahin hoga
shahab-chehra koi gum-shuda sitara koi
usne be-kar ye bahrup banaya hua hai
dar-o-diwar ki zad se nikalna chahta hun main
ek tariqa ye bhi hai jab jina ek na-chaari ho
zara sa waqt kahin be-sabab guzarte hain
zawal-e-shab mein kisi ki sada nikal aae
donon apne kaam ke mahir donon baDe zahin
ulaT gaya hai har ek silsila nishane par
badan mein jaise lahu taziyana ho gaya hai
