Uttar pradesh, India
nikal paDe na kahin apni aaD se koi
zard chehron ki kitaben bhi hain kitni maqbul
hamari bebasi shahron ki diwaron pe chipki hai
charaghon ne hamare sae lambe kar diye itne
KHwab darwazon se daKHil nahin hote lekin
hum hain ehsas ke sailab-zada sahil par
TaTolta hua kuchh jism o jaan tak pahuncha
hum aise surma hain laD ke jab haalat se palTe
humse ziyaada kaun samajhta hai gham ki gahrai ko
usne chaha tha ki chhup jae wo apne andar
koi mausam meri ummidon ko ras aaya nahin
mere andar ek dastak si kahin hoti rahi
main bhi sahil ki tarah TuT ke bah jati hun
sunne wale mera qissa tujhe kya lagta hai
uski har baat samajh kar bhi main anjaan rahi
