Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
hashiye par kuchh haqiqat kuchh fasana KHwab ka
jins-e-giran thi KHubi-e-qismat nahin mili
har marhale se yun to guzar jaegi ye sham
rag rag mein meri phail gaya hai ye kaisa zahr
sanson mein rag-o-pai mein samaya hai koi aur
baam-o-dar TuT gae bah gaya pani kitna
bu-e-pairahan-e-sada aae
shahar KHamosh hai sab neza-o-KHanjar chup hain
kashti rawan-dawan thi samundar khula hua
aankhon dekhi baat kahani lagti hai
har dar-o-diwar pe larzan koi paikar lage
bujhe bujhe se charaghon se silsila paya
bhaTak rahi hai andheron mein aankh dekhe kya
raat aisi ki kabhi jis ka sawera na hua
