Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
dard ki ek lahr bal khati hai yun dil ke qarib
safar mein rah ke aashob se na Dar jaana
aaina-KHana bhi andoh-e-tamanna nikla
shikast-e-shisha-e-dil ki sada hun
main apni jang mein tan-e-tanha sharik tha
kis kis se dosti hui ye dhyan mein nahin
siwae-dar-ba-dari usko KHak milta hai
asir-e-dasht-e-bala ka na majra kahna
meri dastaras mein hai gar qalam mujhe husn-e-fikr-o-KHayal de
hisar-e-maqtal-e-jaan mein lahu lahu main tha
ginti mein be-shumar the kam kar diye gae
wo ki har ahd-e-mohabbat se mukarta jae
uThte hue tufan ka manzar nahin dekha
ahd-e-kam-koshi mein ye bhi hausla maine kiya
