Tonk, Rajasthan, India
mujh mein kisi ka aks na partaw Khaali aaina hun main
lafzon ke siyah pairahan mein lipTi hui kuchh tanwiren hain
jab koi sham-e-hasin nazr-e-KHarabaat hui
ye kaisa rabt hua dil ko teri zat ke sath
wo daur-e-nashat-o-dida-o-dil jaise bas abhi guzra hi to hai
laja laja ke sitaron se mang bharti hai
shahar ujDe hue KHwabon ke basae kya kya
chaDhte dariya se bhi gar par utar jaoge
na kam hua hai na ho soz-e-iztirab-e-durun
bayan-e-shauq pe mail wo kam-nazar honge
sine mein kasak ban ke utarne ke liye hai
bujh gai dil ki raushni rah dhuan dhuan hui
likh kar waraq-e-dil se miTane nahin hote
labon pe hai jo tabassum to aankh pur-nam hai
kasak purane zamane ki sath laya hai
