Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
dafn hum ho chuke to kahte hain
shama ko raushni ka apne bahut dawa hai
naqd-e-dil ka baDa taqaza hai
sine se hamara dil na le jao
kabhi pahunchega dil un ungliyon tak
wo aashiq hain ki marne par hamare
tis din yar ab na aaega
pujna but ka hai ye kya mazmun
qafila jata hai saghar ki taraf rindon ka
hichkiyan aati hain par lete nahin wo mera nam
tha mera naKHun-e-tarashida
tha hina se jo shoKH mera KHun
na aashiq hain zamane mein na mashuq
rahte kabe mein akele kya hum
charKH par badr jis ko kahte hain
