Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
sath ho koi to kuchh taskin si pata hun main
bhule se bhi lab par suKHan apna nahin aata
chiz dil hai ruKH-e-gulfam mein kya rakkha hai
fitna phir aaj uThane ko hai sar lagta hai
dil ki dil ko KHabar nahin milti
meri baaton pe duniya ki hansi kam hoti jati hai
mohabbat se bhi kar-e-zindagi aasan nahin hota
har inqalab ki surKHi unhin ke afsane
chhup ke duniya se sawad-e-dil-e-KHamosh mein aa
jahan ko abhi tab-e-ulfat nahin hai
duniya hai ye kisi ka na isMein qusur tha
hawa na-sazgar-e-gulsitan malum hoti hai
jhijak izhaar-e-arman ki ba-asani nahin jati
jo shab-e-siyah se Dar gae kisi sham hi mein bhaTak gae
gulshan hai isi ka nam agar hairan hun bayaban kya hoga
