Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
aaj na humse puchhiye kaisa kamal ho gaya
na hi bijliyan na hi barishen na hi dushmanon ki wo sazishen
jam-e-ishq pi chuke zindagi bhi ji chuke
pani pe bante aks ki manind hun magar
meri dastan bhi ajib hai wo qadam qadam mere sath tha
aaj phir dab gain dard ki siskiyan
is aql ki mari nagri mein kabhi pani aag nahin banta
bahar jo nahin tha to koi baat nahin thi
hum KHud bhi hue nadim jab harf-e-dua nikla
jab waqt paDa tha to jo kuchh humne kiya tha
pahle bhi jahan par bichhDe the wahi manzil thi is bar magar
us ajnabi se wasta zarur tha koi
apne dukh mein rona-dhona aap hi aaya
