Khatauli, Uttar pradesh, India
be-maqsad mahfil se behtar tanhai
gamzan hain hum musalsal ajnabi manzil ki samt
tishnagi pine ki shab thi
gharq hote jahaz dekhe hain
bas ek dhun thi samundar ko par karne ki
bahut nazdik the taswir mein hum
hadisa kaun sa hua pahle
mera wajud jo patthar dikhai deta hai
karta hai kar-e-raushni mujhko jala ke din
ho din ki chahe raat koi masala nahin
meri taraf sabhi ki nigahen thin aur main
kabhi sochun ki KHud main lauT aaun
jahan tak Dubne ka Dar hai tumko
