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
mujhko muaf kijiye rind-e-KHarab jaan ke
aabaadiyon mein dasht ka manzar bhi aaega
hum doston ke lutf-o-karam dekhte rahe
hae kaisi wo sham hoti hai
Thokaren khaiye patthar bhi uThate chaliye
KHair mangi jo aashiyane ki
jahan tak yaad-e-yar aati rahegi
ye baaten aaj ki kal jis kitab mein likhna
kyun mili thi hayat yaad karo
ek be-qarar dil se mulaqat kijiye
