Patna, Bihar, India
dekhun kab tak gulon ki ye tishna-labi
imkan-e-talab se koi aagah to ho
wallah ye zindagi bhi hai qabil-e-did
manzil ka pata hai na Thikana malum
parwane kahan marte bichhaDte pahunche
dekhe hain bahut chaman ujaDte baste
duniya-talabi jaegi kya jaan ke sath
koi tujhko pukarta jata hai
waiz ko munasib nahin rindon se tane
duniya se alag ja ke kahin sar phoDo
han ai dil-e-iza-talab aaram na le
chaara nahin koi jalte rahne ke siwa
subh-e-azal o sham-e-abad kuchh bhi nahin
be-dard ho kya jaano musibat ke maze
mumkin nahin andesha-e-farda kam ho
