Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
ab bhi tauhin-e-itaat nahin hogi humse
manzar se hain na dida-e-bina ke dam se hain
ye moajiza bhi kisi ki dua ka lagta hai
shahr-e-gul ke KHas-o-KHashak se KHauf aata hai
dukh aur tarah ke hain dua aur tarah ki
faza mein wahshat-e-sang-o-sinan ke hote hue
KHwab dekhne wali aankhen patthar hongi tab sochenge
samajh rahe hain magar bolne ka yara nahin
KHwab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai
ye bastiyan hain ki maqtal dua kiye jaen
wahi pyas hai wahi dasht hai wahi gharana hai
tar-e-shabnam ki tarah surat-e-KHas TuTti hai
harim-e-lafz mein kis darja be-adab nikla
sajal ki shor zaminon mein aashiyana kare
zara si der ko aae the KHwab aankhon mein
