Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
apni tadbir na taqdir pe rona aaya
aag ek aur laga denge hamare aansu
bahut hi dil-nashin aawaz-e-pa thi
na mandir mein sanam hote na masjid mein KHuda hota
zanjir-e-junun kuchh aur khanak hum raqs-e-tamanna dekhenge
zindagi muKHtasar mili thi hamein
karna hai shairi agar naushad
ek be-qarar dil se mulaqat kijiye
aabaadiyon mein dasht ka manzar bhi aaega
samne uske ek bhi na chali
