Bahraich, Uttar pradesh, India
jism ki kuchh aur abhi miTTi nikal
ek ghazal kahte hain ek kaifiyyat tari kar lete hain
rah ki kuchh to rukawaT yar kam kar dijiye
main shahri hun magar meri bayabani nahin jati
aaKHir uske husn ki mushkil ko hal maine kiya
donon ka la-shuur hai itna mila hua
nang dhaDang malang tarang mein aaega jo wahi kaam karenge
hadd-e-badan mein meri zat aa nahin rahi hai
kya baiTh jaen aan ke nazdik aap ke
KHak hai mera badan KHak hi us ka hoga
nahin dekhta din jise chashm-e-shab dekhti hai
main apne ru-e-haqiqat ko kho nahin sakta
KHalal aaya na haqiqat mein na afsana bana
kaba-e-dil dimagh ka phir se ghulam ho gaya
ishq mein kitne buland imkan ho jate hain hum
