Bahraich, Uttar pradesh, India
us taraf tu teri yaktai hai
jism jab mahw-e-suKHan hon shab-e-KHamoshi se
raqs-e-ilham kar raha hun
hamein jab apna taaruf karana paDta hai
pahle qabristan aata hai phir apni basti aati hai
din ne itna jo marizana bana rakkha hai
charagh-e-shahr se sham-e-dil-e-sahra jalana
ayyam sirf sham-o-sahar ho ke rah gae
jism ke par wo diya sa hai
rah ki kuchh to rukawaT yar kam kar dijiye
jab usko dekhte rahne se thakne lagta hun
wo mahfilen purani afsana ho rahi hain
KHud se inkar ko ham-zad kiya hai maine
ye sare KHubsurat jism abhi mar jaane wale hain
sahra ke sangin safar mein aab-rasani kam na paDe
