Patna, Bihar, India
chshme-e-be-kaif mein karinda-e-manzar na raha
fishaar-e-tirah-shabi se sahar nikal aae
bosida sahi zeb-e-qaba tak nahin aati
sahar ki jumbish qad-e-matanat pe rah gai thi
KHema-e-jaan ko jo dekhun to sharar-bar lage
kuchh sulagte hue KHwabon ki farawani hai
dasht ke KHema-e-dariya mein makin koi tha
jo bhi kuchh taq-e-KHayalat pe rah jate hain
KHamoshiyon ko aalam-e-aswat par kabhi
hum ki sarmaya-e-iqan liye baiThe hain
lams-o-yaqin apna kahan pesh-o-pas mein tha
darun-e-jism ki diwar se ubharti hai
zamin ke jism pe yun yurish-e-qaza kab tak
khula hai tere badan ka bhi istiara kuchh
ab to lafzon ke taqazon ka bharosa na raha
