Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
aql ki aisi tabedari hai
ilm-o-hunar se qaum ko raghbat nahin rahi
kyon wo mera markaz-e-afkar tha
kahta rahe zamana gunahgar zindagi
gham-e-hijran se zara yun bhi nibhai jae
ai meri jaan tujhe aur badalna hoga
dil ke andar ek zara si be-kali hai aaj bhi
har kisi ki hai zabani dosti
pichhle kisi safar ka sitara na DhunD le
koi kaba na kalisa na sanam mera hai
KHwahishon ka imtihan hone to do
mil ke baiThen to hum kahin pahle
aisa lagta hai samajhdar hai duniya sari
