Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India
ek taraf ru-e-jaanan tha jalti aankh mein ek taraf
KHalal-pazir hua rabt-e-mehr-o-mah mein waqt
abhi to kuchh log zindagi mein hazar sayon ka ek shajar hain
jab aai saat-e-be-tab teri be-libasi ki
kah sakte to ahwal-e-jahan tum se hi kahte
husn ki shart-e-wafa jo Thahri tesha o sang-e-giran ki baat
meri wafa hai uski udasi ka ek bab
un ko ai narm hawa KHwab-e-junun se na jaga
narmi hawa ki mauj-e-tarab-KHez abhi se hai
alag siyasat-e-darban se dil mein hai ek baat
KHun hua dil ki pashiman-e-sadaqat hai wafa
subh se chalte chalte aaKHir sham hui aawara-e-dil
jo baat dil mein thi us se nahin kahi humne
baiTho ji ka bojh utaren donon waqt yahin milte hain
sadiyon mein ja ke banta hai aaKHir mizaj-e-dahr
