Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
dil un ke sath magar tegh aur shaKHs ke sath
yahi lahja tha ki mear-e-suKHan Thahra tha
KHazana-e-zar-o-gauhar pe KHak Dal ke rakh
hua hai yun bhi ki ek umr apne ghar na gae
is bar bhi duniya ne hadaf hum ko banaya
wahi firaq ki baaten wahi hikayat-e-wasl
main apne KHwab se kaT kar jiyun to mera KHuda
ghar ki wahshat se larazta hun magar jaane kyun
ye sari jannaten ye jahannam azab o ajr
ye tere mere charaghon ki zid jahan se chali
tamasha karne walon ko KHabar di ja chuki hai
ye basti jaani pahchani bahut hai
hami bhi na the munkir-e-ghaalib bhi nahin the
ek KHwab hi to tha jo faramosh ho gaya
wo kya manzil jahan se raste aage nikal jaen
