Nagpur, Maharashtra, India
jis raste pe panw rakha us se ja mila
dew-qamat bana hua ghumun
jo kal na tha wo aaj hai ai ham-shabih-e-man
tum mil gae to koi gila ab nahin raha
dasht se main jo apne ghar aaya
main dhund-fazaon mein uDa bhi hun gira bhi
maine jo kuchh kho diya ab isko pa sakta nahin
wahan karta rahunga ab yahan karta rahunga
jaane wale mujhe kuchh apni nishani de ja
main to apne aapko pahchanna hi chahta hun
wahi zamin wahi dur aasmanon ke
naqsh dil se na miTa zarra barabar us ka
shayad meri fariyaad sunai nahin deti
KHaksari kijiye ya shahryari kijiye
na sud hai na ziyan hasil-e-wafa kya hai
