Manikpur, Uttar pradesh, India
muft mein toD ke rakh di meri tauba tu ne
sari duniya ke KHayalat the dil mein lekin
pine se kar chuka tha main tauba magar jalil
ya-rab aabaad rahe KHak bayabanon ki
zamin-e-sher hum karte hain aabaad
munh tera dekhe jo sote jagte
be-piye chain nahin hosh nahin jaan nahin
yahan to paik-e-tasawwur se kaam chalta hai
mere daghon se jalne ka sabaq leta hai parwana
hairan hun ki pir-e-mughan ke libas mein
ulTi ek hath se naqab unki
aansu hamare gir gae unki nigah se
jate ho KHuda-hafiz han itni guzarish hai
abhi kuchh der hai sayyaad bahaar aane mein
ye surat hui hai ki aaina pahron
