Rampur, Uttar pradesh, India
nind aankhon mein hai kam kam mujhe aawaz na do
shama ki lau mein kuchh dhuan sa hai
hum aagahi ko rote hain aur aagahi hamein
fitna-e-gardish-e-ayyam se ji Darta hai
dil ko milta nahin qarar kahin
do ajnabi
yaad-faramosh
inqalab
farda
aai thi chand gam usi be-wafa ke sath
ab to aa jao rasm-e-duniya ki
wahi be-wajh udasi wahi be-nam KHalish
agar sukun se umr-e-aziz khona ho
hath phir baDh raha hai su-e-jam
shama raushan hai sar-e-bazm nigahon mein magar
aahaTon ke sarab mein gum hain
pa liya phir kisi ummid ne farda ka suragh
nind uD jaegi raaton ko shikayat hogi
dil se majbur aap se bezar
