Seoni, Madhya Pradesh, India
mere sine mein kuchh zer-o-zabar hai
shuur waqt pe dil ki dawa hui hoti
farishton se bhi achchha main bura hone se pahle tha
hawas bala ki mohabbat hamein bala ki hai
aawara hun rain-basera koi nahin mera
kuchh dinon apne ghar raha hun main
KHatm har achchha bura ho jaega
ittifaq apni jagah KHush-qismati apni jagah
yaadon ke bagh se wo hara-pan nahin gaya
ubur kar na sake hum haden hi aisi thin
nahin KHasta-haali pe na-mutmain hum
aur na dar-ba-dar phira aur na aazma mujhe
ye KHud ko dekhte rahne ki hai jo KHu mujh mein
ye mat puchho ki kaisa aadmi hun
un se tanhai mein baat hoti rahi
