Sambhal, Uttar pradesh, India
dekho koi KHwab din Dhale ka
jangal mudafat ke halkan ho gae hain
ek kutub-KHana hun apne darmiyan khole hue
aankhen yun barsin pairahan bhig gaya
kya DhunDte ho ab jaras-e-raftagan ki dhul
main aandhi mein reza reza ek phul chun raha hun
badan ke diwar-o-dar mein ek shai si mar gai hai
teri aaghosh mein niDhaal hun main
dashna-e-dard har ek sans mein Thahra hoga
hamari tahriren wardaten bahut zamane ke baad hongi
yun chup hai shahr jaise ki kuchh bhi hua na ho
bichhaD ke bhi mila ruswaiyon ka qahr tujhe
rah-e-junun mein chala yun main umr-bhar tanha
laga hai aisa koi kasa-e-sawali hon
kai zamanon ke dariya-e-nil chhoD gaya
