Hyderabad, Telangana, India
ye rah-e-tamanna hai yahan dekh ke chalna
wo ham-safar tha magar us se ham-nawai na thi
is kaDi dhup mein saya kar ke
main ek shajar ki tarah rah-guzar mein Thahra hun
tujhe kya KHabar mere be-KHabar mera silsila koi aur hai
shahr mein kis se suKHan rakhiye kidhar ko chaliye
adawaten thin, taghaful tha, ranjishen thin bahut
ye hawa sare charaghon ko uDa le jaegi
aaj ki raat ujale mere ham-saya hain
milne ki tarah mujhse wo pal bhar nahin milta
