Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India
ye faza-e-saz-o-muzrib ye hujum-e-taj-e-daran
zanjir-e-pa se aahan-e-shamshir hai talab
insha-ji hai nam unhi ka chaho to tum se milwaen
ghalat-bayan ye faza mahr o kin darogh darogh
juyan-e-taza-kari-e-guftar kuchh kaho
naqshe usi ke dil mein hain ab tak khinche hue
aaj muqabla hai saKHt mir-e-sipah ke liye
wo saat surat-e-chaqmaq jis se lau nikalti hai
baiTho ji ka bojh utaren donon waqt yahin milte hain
hazar waqt ke partaw-nazar mein hote hain
sab pech-o-tab-e-shauq ke tufan tham gae
ji-daro! dozaKH ki hawa mein kis ki mohabbat jalti hai
talKH-tar aur zara baada-e-safi saqi
sambhal na pae to taqsir-e-waqai bhi nahin
KHatm hui shab-e-wafa KHwab ke silsile gae
