Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India
tu bhi to ek lafz hai ek din mere bayan mein aa
main jo Thahra Thaharta chala jaunga
charagh hathon ke bujh rahe hain sitara har rah-guzar mein rakh de
dil ke nazdik to saya bhi nahin hai koi
de kar pichhli yaadon ka ambar mujhe
is dasht nawardi mein jina bahut aasan tha
kuchh aur din abhi is ja qayam karna tha
jo nazar aana saken aise bhi manzar dekhen
main chhupa rahunga nigah-o-zaKHm ki oT mein
bahut dinon mein kahin raste badalte the
kakrochon makDiyon ki fasl aa kar tu bhi dekh
chalo surang se pahle guzar ke dekha jae
garche main sar se pair talak nok-e-sang tha
kya tumne kabhi zindagi karte hue dekha
mere supurd kahan wo KHazana karta tha
