Begusarai, Bihar, India
jabin pe shahr ki likh kar faza udasi ki
har samt uDi gard mere shahr-e-guman mein
lamhon ke ishaare mein jafa dekh ke chup hai
dil mein baiTha tha ek Dar shayad
andaz kisi ka hai sada aur kisi ki
aarzu aabaad hai bikhre khanDar ke aas pas
dil mein KHayal-e-ishq tha mehman ki tarah
KHamosh nigahon se wo yalghaar ka hona
pichha hi nahin chhoDti ghar bar ki KHushbu
KHak mein lipTi kahani aur hai
chandni shab bhar Tahalti chhat pe tanha rah gai
har taraf mauj-e-bala ki si rawani dekhi
tasht mein dhup ke har-samt zamin hai raushan
shar ki baaton mein tamazat ka nishan ho ki na ho
ek masum tamanna ki faza thi kal tak
