Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
hadis-e-talKHi-e-ayyam se taklif hoti hai
koi batlae ki ye turfa tamasha kyun hai
tez jab KHanjar-e-bedad kiya jaega
wo to baiThe rahe sar jhukae hue
ye hadsa bhi shahr-e-nigaran mein ho gaya
KHafa hai gar ye KHudai to fikr hi kya hai
ye kaisi hawa-e-gham-o-azar chali hai
hamare ahd ka manzar ajib manzar hai
aa jao ki mil kar hum jine ki bina Dalen
dil ki aawaz mein aawaz milate rahiye
lahu ki mai banai dil ka paimana bana Dala
jab bhi teri yaadon ki chalne lagi purwai
kya jurm hamara hai bata kyun nahin dete
