Jalandhar, Punjab, India
wo KHwab kya tha ki jis ki hayat hai tabir
han mujh pe sitam bhi hain bahut waqt ke lekin
ab is ka chaara hi kya ki apni talab hi la-intiha thi warna
waqt be-mehr hai is fursat-e-kamyab mein tum
ye aansu ye pashemani ka izhaar
bura na man ziya uski saf-goi ka
himmat hai to buland kar aawaz ka alam
abr-e-awara se mujhko hai wafa ki ummid
ishq mein bhi koi anjam hua karta hai
kaise dukh kitni chah se dekha
tu koi sukha hua patta nahin hai ki jise
izhaar na-rasa sahi wo surat-e-jamal
rang baaten karen aur baaton se KHushbu aae
tera gham bhi na ho to kya jina
tere dukh ko pa kar hum to apna dukh bhi bhul gae
