Jaunpur, Uttar pradesh, India
zulf ghaTa ban kar rah jae aankh kanwal ho jae
basti mein hai wo sannaTa jangal mat lage
hawa bahut hai mata-e-safar sambhaal ke rakh
tum se do harf ka KHat bhi nahin likkha jata
TuTe hue KHwabon ki chubhan kam nahin hoti
zehn mein kaun se aaseb ka Dar bandh liya
dar-o-diwar pe hijrat ke nishan dekh aaen
na sawal-e-jam na zikr-e-mai usi bankpan se chale gae
kaghaz kaghaz dhul uDegi fan banjar ho jaega
itna sannaTa hai basti mein ki Dar jaega
mayusi ki barf paDi thi lekin mausam sard na tha
dil ki aag kahan le jate jalti bujhti chhoD chale
sari duniya ke talluq se jo socha jata
barson ke rat-jagon ki thakan kha gai mujhe
danishwaron ke bas mein ye radd-e-amal na tha
