Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
darmiyan KHud apni hasti ho to hum bhi kya karen
gali gali ki Thokar khai kab se KHwar o pareshan hain
main kahan hun kuchh bata de zindagi ai zindagi!
ai naseho na aur koi guftugu karo
kahun ye kaise ki jine ka hausla dete
main der se dhup mein khaDa hun
wo ham-safir the to qafas bhi chaman hi tha
kyun ro ro kar nain ganwaen rone se kya hota hai
tumhaare pas ek wahshi ne ye paigham bheja hai
pina nahin haram, hai zahr-e-wafa ki shart
wo ghaDi wo rut gai wo din gae mausam gae
kahan kho gai ruh ki raushni
tu bhi ab chhoD de sath ai gham-e-duniya mera
phir meri rah mein khaDi hogi
mujhe aziz hai ye nikhaton ka gahwara
