Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
har nai nasl ko ek taza madine ki talash
kahani mein nae kirdar shamil ho gae hain
main jis ko ek umr sambhaale phira kiya
jab mir o mirza ke suKHan raegan gae
ek hum hi to nahin hain jo uThate hain sawal
roz ek taza qasida nai tashbib ke sath
mansab na kulah chahta hun
jawab aae na aae sawal uTha to sahi
sipah-e-sham ke neze pe aaftab ka sar
main chup raha ki wazahat se baat baDh jati
hum apne raftagan ko yaad rakhna chahte hain
hamein bhi aafiyat-e-jaan ka hai KHayal bahut
usi ko baat na pahunche jise pahunchni ho
mere KHuda mujhe itna to motabar kar de
sab log apne apne qabilon ke sath the
