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