Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
wo jo ek shart thi wahshat ki uTha di gai kya
uDe to phir na milenge rafaqaton ke parind
nafrat ke KHazane mein to kuchh bhi nahin baqi
udas KHushk labon par laraz raha hoga
ret par thak ke gira hun to hawa puchhti hai
hoshiyari dil-e-nadan bahut karta hai
sab ko nishana karte karte
uski aankhen hain ki ek Dubne wala insan
kuchh ishq ke nisab mein kamzor hum bhi hain
aaj tak unki KHudai se hai inkar mujhe
uTho ye manzar-e-shab-tab dekhne ke liye
suna tha maine ki fitrat KHala ki dushman hai
sham-e-KHema koi zanjir nahin ham-safaran
jaane kya Than ke uThta hun nikalne ke liye
hawa-e-kufa-e-na-mehrban ko hairat hai
