Ranchi, Jharkhand, India
KHushbuon ka shahr ujDa ghar se be-ghar ho gae
bistar par bechain nirasha ke silwaT silwaT jage
ik-duje ke basi un ko aur basera kya malum
talash phir koi khoi si rahguzar mein thi
har su mausam nur pe tha jab miladon sat-sangon ka
the zamin par na aasman mein the
tere sath chehre hain mere sang aaina
chand la-KHitab aankhen chand be-laqab chehre
use tab dekhte shadab tha jab
bas dekhte hi dekhte sadiyan guzar gain
andar bahar upar niche KHwab hi KHwab
aks-dar-aks aaina taqsim
aahaTen taza muqaddar ki taraf
tab se wafa ka tazkira gunge ka KHwab ho gaya
husn hai is bar pure jalwa-samani ke sath
