Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
samundaron ko bhi hairat hui ki Dubte waqt
ye bastiyan hain ki maqtal dua kiye jaen
miTTi ki gawahi se baDi dil ki gawahi
rawish mein gardish-e-sayyargan se achchhi hai
tamam KHana-ba-doshon mein mushtarak hai ye baat
Dub jaun to koi mauj nishan tak na batae
kahin kahin se kuchh misre ek-adh ghazal kuchh sher
yahi lau thi ki ulajhti rahi har raat ke sath
duaen yaad kara di gai thin bachpan mein
gham-e-jahan ko sharmsar karne wale kya hue
ghar se nikle hue beTon ka muqaddar malum
hamein to apne samundar ki ret kafi hai
ab bhi tauhin-e-itaat nahin hogi humse
karobar mein ab ke KHasara aur tarah ka hai
dil pagal hai roz nai nadani karta hai
