Shikarpur, Uttar pradesh, India
bas yahi baat yahan harf-e-malamat ki hai
mausam ho koi yaad ke KHeme nahin uThte
rawana wo bhi hua hai nae safar ke liye
aankh se nikla to ek sail-e-rawan ho jaega
ai KHuda jab se ata ki tu ne peshani mujhe
wo dariya hai koi sahra nahin hai
kahin andhere kahin raushni se Darte hue
sabab nahin tha koi yun to apne rone ka
zindagi ki tha alamat ek hunar be-jaan sa
mere hisse ki udasi mujhe lauTa dena
maujon ki sazishon ne kinara nahin diya
dariya tha mauj gham thi safina koi na tha
charagh jab se mere tirgi se haar gae
jo tez-rau the thi pairon mein jin ke jaan bahut
kya jaane kis KHayal mein kis raste mein hun
