Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
subuk-sari mein bhi andesha-e-hawa rakhna
laDkhaDati hawa roz kahti hai kya shahr walo suno
khet se bach kar guzre basti ko virani de
ai kahkashan-nawaz muqaddar ujal de
pag pag phul khile the lekin tan-man mein thi aag
shor-e-dariya hai kahani meri
jaisa huzur kahenge bilkul waisa hoga
dawa baghair koi tifl mar gaya to kya hua
koi to tha dhanak dhanak KHwab mein ya KHayal mein
kabhi to yaad ke gul-dan mein sajaun use
