Jhansi, Uttar pradesh, India
shaiKH ke mathe pe miTTi barhaman ke bar mein but
yaad mein KHwab mein tasawwur mein
nahin ye aadmi ka kaam waiz
dil aaya hai qayamat hai mera dil
adaen ta-abad bikhri paDi hain
wo haTe aankh ke aage se to bas surat-e-aks
wahi uThae mujhe jo bane mera mazdur
ai tan-parast jama-e-surat kasif hai
hazaron dil masal kar pair se jhunjhla ke yun bole
nairangiyan falak ki jabhi hain ki hon baham
hawa-e-wahshat dil le uDi kahan se kahan
wo poshida rakhte hain apna talluq
par dariya-e-shahadat se utar jate hain sar
ye tasir mohabbat hai ki Tapka
gauhar-e-maqsad mile gar charKH-e-minai na ho
