Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
band hain dil ke dariche raushni madum hai
mujhko majbur-e-sar-kashi kahiye
chand-taron ka tere ru-ba-ru sajda karna
rafta rafta dil-e-be-tab Thahar jaega
kise bataun ki gham kya hai sarKHushi kya hai
pa-e-talab ki manzil ab tak wahi gali hai
ashk par gudaz-dil hashiya chaDhata hai
dil ne Thokar kha ke samjha hadisa kya chiz hai
talKHi-e-gham mere ehsas ka sarmaya hai
go dur ho chuka hun yaran-e-anjuman se
ehtimam-e-rang-o-bu se gulistan paida karen
fikr-e-besh-o-kam nahin unki raza ke samne
KHwab ka aks kahan KHwab ki tabir mein hai
kash us but ko bhi hum waqf-e-tamanna dekhen
taklif-e-iltifat-e-gurezan kabhi kabhi
