Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
jo apni nind ki punji bhi kab ki kho chuki hain
kabhi kabhi to kisi ajnabi ke milne par
isi umid pe barsen guzar din humne
zindagi kitni hasin kitni baDi neamat hai
likkhe the safar panw mein kis tarah Thaharte
jitne uske firaq mein guzre
pani mein zara der ko halchal to hui thi
ummid o yas ki rut aati jati rahti hai
koi makin tha na mehman aane wala tha
main uske bare mein itna ziyaada sochta hun
qubul kaise karun un ka faisla ki ye log
shiddat-e-shauq mein kuchh itna use yaad kiya
hamare sath bhi chalta hai rasta
nai faza ke parinde hain kitne matwale
mom ke putle the hum aur garm hathon mein rahe
