Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
rit bhi apni rut bhi apni
jo charagh sare bujha chuke unhen intizar kahan raha
koi baat KHwab-o-KHayal ki jo karo to waqt kaTega ab
aa dekh ki mere aansuon mein
bujhi hui hain nigahen ghubar hai ki dhuan
na bahlawa na samjhauta judai si judai hai
kaTta kahan tawil tha raaton ka silsila
mata-e-dard parakhna to bas ki baat nahin
main aandhiyon ke pas talash-e-saba mein hun
honTon pe kabhi un ke mera nam hi aae
