Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
KHwab-e-derina se ruKHsat ka sabab puchhte hain
dost kya KHud ko bhi pursish ki ijazat nahin di
wafa ki KHair manata hun bewafai mein bhi
hijr ki dhup mein chhanw jaisi baaten karte hain
wahi pyas hai wahi dasht hai wahi gharana hai
ek sawal
nirwan
ek ruKH
mohabbat ki ek nazm
tajahul-arifana
mera KHush-KHiram bala ka tez-KHiram tha
ye waqt kis ki raunat pe KHak Dal gaya
ajab tarah ka hai mausam ki KHak uDti hai
wo hum nahin the to phir kaun tha sar-e-bazar
zamana ho gaya KHud se mujhe laDte-jhagaDte
