Saharanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
do baadal aapas mein mile the phir aisi barsat hui
jis ne banaya har aaina main hi tha
shayad ab rudad-e-hunar mein aise bab likhe jaenge
jabhi to zaKHm bhi gahra nahin hai
ye daur-e-kam-nazaran hai to phir sila kaisa
wo shaKH-e-gul ki tarah mausam-e-tarab ki tarah
inhi galiyon mein ek aisi gali hai
dastak si ye kya thi koi saya hai ki main hun
ai subh-e-umid der kya hai
main jab bhi qatl ho kar dekhta hun
yun to likhne ke liye kya nahin likkha maine
aae hum shahr-e-ghazal mein to is aaghaz ke sath
wo shaKH-e-gul ki jo aawaz-e-andalib bhi thi
ab safar ho to koi KHwab-numa le jae
bichhaDte waqt to kuchh usMein gham-gusari thi
