Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
harif-e-tegh-e-sitam-gar to kar diya hai tujhe
mere hone mein kisi taur se shamil ho jao
raat ko jit to pata nahin lekin ye charagh
us se bichhDe to tumhein koi na pahchanega
ek main hun ki is aashob-e-nawa mein chup hun
main jhapaTne ke liye DhunDh raha hun mauqa
badan ke donon kinaron se jal raha hun main
hamein to KHair bikharna hi tha kabhi na kabhi
hai bahut kuchh meri tabir ki duniya tujh mein
jo kuchh hua wo kaise hua jaanta hun main
rup ki dhup kahan jati hai malum nahin
magar giraft mein aata nahin badan us ka
tu ek charagh-e-jahan-e-digar hai kya jaane
ishq kya kar-e-hawas bhi koi aasan nahin
humne muddat se ulaT rakkha hai kasa apna
