Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
jabin ko dar pe jhukana hi bandagi to nahin
kabhi junun to kabhi aagahi ki qaid mein hun
aag hai pani hai miTTi hai hawa hai mujh mein
tez ho jata hai KHushbu ka safar sham ke baad
zindagi se baDi saza hi nahin
uski dhun mein har taraf bhaga kiya dauDa kiya
ye lamha zist ka hai bas aaKHiri hai aur main hun
apna pata na apni KHabar chhoD jaunga
palkon ki oT mein wo chhupa le gaya mujhe
wo lab ki jaise saghar-e-sahba dikhai de
jagti haqiqat tak rasta hai KHwabon ka
bas ek waqt ka KHanjar meri talash mein hai
ho ke bechain main bhaga kiya aahu ki tarah
bichhaD ke tujhse na jite hain aur na marte hain
KHamoshiyon mein sada se likha hua ek nam
