Shahjahanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
zinda rahne ke liye asbab de
zara qarib se dekhun to koi raaz khule
ek chehra hai jo aankhon mein basa rahta hai
palkon pe le ke bojh kahan tak phira karun
sath chawal ke ye kankar bhi nigal jata hai
jise na aane ki qasMein main de ke aaya hun
girne wala hai mera bojh sambhaale koi
be-saya na ho jae kahin ghar mera yarab
miT jaane ke aasar wirasat mein mile hain
chand ka qurb laga kaisa chalo puchh aaen
samajhne se raha qasir ki danista nahin samjha
mujhko ye mohtat iKHlas-e-nazar achchha laga
dekhna chhoDe nahin KHwab meri aankhon ne
dar-ba-dar ho gae tabir ki dhun mein kitne
muddat hui ki zinda hun dekhe baghair use
