Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
aankhon mein wo KHwab nahin baste pahla sa wo haal nahin hota
rasta der tak sochta rah gaya
kabhi to sehn-e-ana se nikle kahin pe dasht-e-malal aaya
thi ajab hi dastan jab tamam ho gai
waqt ne rang bahut badle kya kuchh sailab nahin aae
mumkin hi nahin ki kinara bhi karega
sab kuchh kho kar mauj uDana ishq mein sikha
aansu to koi aankh mein laya nahin hun main
hum KHud bhi hue nadim jab harf-e-dua nikla
wahi hua ki KHud bhi jis ka KHauf tha mujhe
rukne ke liye dast-e-sitam-gar bhi nahin tha
ye visal o hijr ka masala to meri samajh mein na aa saka
