Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
honTon pe kabhi un ke mera nam hi aae
main aandhiyon ke pas talash-e-saba mein hun
agar sach itna zalim hai to humse jhuT hi bolo
mata-e-dard parakhna to bas ki baat nahin
KHazine jaan ke luTane wale dilon mein basne ki aas le kar
na bahlawa na samjhauta judai si judai hai
kaTta kahan tawil tha raaton ka silsila
sab se baDa fareb hai KHud zindagi ada
KHalish-e-tir-e-be-panah gai
hamare shahr ke logon ka ab ahwal itna hai
koi baat KHwab-o-KHayal ki jo karo to waqt kaTega ab
abhi sahifa-e-jaan par raqam bhi kya hoga
bujhi hui hain nigahen ghubar hai ki dhuan
wo kaisi aas thi ada jo ku-ba-ku liye phiri
aa dekh ki mere aansuon mein
