Patna, Bihar, India
meri tarah TuTe aaine mein usne bhi
hum bhi hain bilqis majruhin mein
KHud pe ye zulm gawara nahin hoga humse
zara si der bhi rukta to kuchh pata chalta
tamam lala o gul ke charagh raushan hain
anhoni kuchh zarur hui dil ke sath aaj
nahin hai KHwab diwane ka hasti
har-dil-aziz wo bhi hai hum bhi hain KHush-mizaj
apni to koi baat banae nahin bani
hum to begane se KHud ko bhi mile hain bilqis
dahshat-zada zamin par wahshat bhare makan ye
jaane kya kuchh hai aaj hone ko
KHud apni fikr ugati hai wahm ke kanTe
hai yun ki kuchh to baghawat-sirisht hum bhi hain
kitne sada hain hum ki baiThe hain
