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