Gorakhpur, Uttar pradesh, India
udhar sach bolne ghar se koi diwana niklega
yak-ba-yak jaan se guzarna to hai aasan anjum
sar-e-rah mil ke bichhaD gae tha bas ek pal ka wo hadsa
charag chand shafaq sham phul jhil saba
baat kuchh hogi yaqinan jo ye hote hain nisar
tesha-ba-kaf ko aaina-gar kah diya gaya
aaya tha pichhli raat dabe panw mere ghar
muTThi se phisle hi jate hain har phal
safar mein har qadam rah rah ke ye taklif hi dete
har chehra har rang mein aane lagta hai
dard-e-dil banTta aaya hai zamane ko jo ab tak anjum
ada hua na kabhi mujhse ek sajda-e-shukr
hum fana-nasibon ko aur kuchh nahin aata
lauT kar yaqinan main ek roz aaunga
lamhe lamhe mein hua jata hun reza reza
