Amritsar, Punjab, India
yun teri yaad mein din raat magan rahta hun
waqia ye hai ki rasta aur viran ho gaya
tumhaari bazm se bhi uTh chale hain diwane
ab bhi wahi din raat hain lekin farq ye hai
na maine dast-shanasi ka phir kiya dawa
main sun raha hun magar dusron ko kaise sunaun
dil bhi to ek dayar hai raushan hara-bhara
viran to nahin shab-e-tarik ki faza
tirgi hi tirgi hadd-e-nazar tak tirgi
ajab nahin ki isi baat par laDai ho
guzarne hi na di wo raat maine
jahan mein humne kisi se bhi khul ke baat na ki
shayad log isi raunaq ko garmi-e-mahfil kahte hain
safar bhi dur ka hai aur kahin nahin jaana
apne hi aks ko pani mein kahan tak dekhun
