Sitapur, Uttar pradesh, India
samundar ye teri KHamoshiyan kuchh aur kahti hain
shikayat mujhse ye aksar dar-o-diwar karte hain
sham tak phir rang KHwabon ka bikhar jaega kya
andheron mein bhaTakna hai pareshani mein rahna hai
jo shab ko manzar-e-shab tab mein tabdil karte hain
sada-e-dil na kahin dhaDkanon mein gum ho jae
ye tum har baat lafzon ki zabani kyun samajhte ho
bahut dinon se mere baam-o-dar ka hissa hai
koi nahin tha mere muqabil bhi main hi tha
main apne ru-ba-ru hun aur kuchh hairat-zada hun main
nai mushkil koi darpesh har mushkil se aage hai
ab andheron mein jo hum KHauf-zada baiThe hain
