Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
main kis ke hath pe apna lahu talash karun
nawak-e-zulm uTha dashna-e-andoh sambhaal
aankh jhuk jati hai jab band-e-qaba khulte hain
gham-e-dauran ne bhi sikhe gham-e-jaanan ke chalan
is tarah hosh ganwana bhi koi baat nahin
inhin pattharon pe chal kar agar aa sako to aao
ek mauj-e-KHun-e-KHalq thi kis ki jabin pe thi
meri ruh ki haqiqat mere aansuon se puchho
utra tha jis pe bab-e-haya ka waraq waraq
jis din se apna tarz-e-faqirana chhuT gaya
ishq in zalimon ki duniya mein
KHud apne shab-o-roz guzar jaenge lekin
titliyan uDti hain aur un ko pakaDne wale
dil ke rishte ajib rishte hain
ruh ke is virane mein teri yaad hi sab kuchh thi
