Tonk, Rajasthan, India
mujh mein kisi ka aks na partaw Khaali aaina hun main
KHwar-o-ruswa na sar-e-kucha-o-bazar mile
jab koi sham-e-hasin nazr-e-KHarabaat hui
lafzon ke siyah pairahan mein lipTi hui kuchh tanwiren hain
ye kaisa rabt hua dil ko teri zat ke sath
ek purana shahr
lafzon ka almiya
bulawa
surKHiyan KHun mein Dubi hain sab aKHbaron ki
main uske wade ka ab bhi yaqin karta hun
raKHt-e-safar jo pas hamare na tha to kya
gham o nashat ki har rahguzar mein tanha hun
ho jae jahan sham wahin un ka basera
