Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India
har ek ruh mein ek gham chhupa lage hai mujhe
tulu-e-subh hai nazren uTha ke dekh zara
har ek shaKHs pareshan-o-darba-dar sa lage
ranj-o-gham mange hai andoh-o-bala mange hai
dida o dil mein koi husn bikharta hi raha
muddat hui us jaan-e-haya ne humse ye iqrar kiya
mauj-e-gul mauj-e-saba mauj-e-sahar lagti hai
zindagi tujhko bhulaya hai bahut din humne
zamin hogi kisi qatil ka daman hum na kahte the
zulfen sina naf kamar
ashaar mere yun to zamane ke liye hain
tu is qadar mujhe apne qarib lagta hai
KHud-ba-KHud mai hai ki shishe mein bhari aawe hai
wo log hi har daur mein mahbub rahe hain
lakh aawara sahi shahron ke fuTpathon pe hum
