Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
naKHuda Dubne walon ki taraf muD ke na dekh
nigah-e-mehr kahan ki wo barhami bhi gai
manzil na mili kashmakash-e-ahl-e-nazar mein
mahw yun ho gae alfaz-e-dua waqt-e-dua
zindan mein aachanak hai ye kya shor-e-salasil
kahi kisi se na rudad-e-zindagi maine
apni KHuddari salamat dil ka aalam kuchh sahi
ye bhi ek raat kaT hi jaegi
dil ne sine mein kuchh qarar liya
jo teri bazm se uTTha wo is tarah uTTha
bahaar-e-gulistan hum ko na pahchane tajjub hai
mal-o-zar ahl-e-duwal samne yun ginte hain
yunhi insanon ke shahron mein mila apna wajud
chaha tha Thokaron mein guzar jae zindagi
mai-KHana-e-hasti mein saqi hum donon hi mujrim hain shayad
