Kanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
ghaar ke munh se ye chaTTan haTane ke liye
hai sadaf gauhar se Khaali raushni kyunkar mile
naqsh-e-taswir na wo sang ka paikar koi
raat damakti hai rah rah kar maddham si
wo aur mohabbat se mujhe dekh raha ho
bhaDakti aag hai shoalon mein hath Dale kaun
uske qurb ke sare hi aasar lage
din hai be-kaif be-gunahon sa
be-karan dasht-e-be-sada mere
din teri yaad mein Dhal jata hai aansu ki tarah
go meri har sans ek paigham-e-sarmasti rahi
lagaun hath tujhe ye KHayal-e-KHam hai kya
bas ek parda-e-ighmaz tha kafan us ka
mauj-e-reg sarab-e-sahra kaise banti hai
shoala-e-mauj-e-talab KHun-e-jigar se nikla
