Hyderabad, Telangana, India
bikti nahin faqir ki jholi hi kyun na ho
zindagi ehsan hi se mawara thi main na tha
na-KHush gadai se na wo shahi se KHush hue
wo KHush-suKHan to kisi pairwi se KHush na hua
patte tamam halqa-e-sarsar mein rah gae
ab is se pahle ki tan man lahu lahu ho jae
hum agar radd-e-amal apna dikhane lag jaen
giraftari ke sab harbe shikari le ke nikla hai
lubha rahi to hai duniya chamak damak ki mujhe
koi bhi zor KHaridar par nahin chalta
zaban pe harf to inkar mein nahin aata
aaankhon pa abhi tohmat-e-binai kahan hai
ta-ba-kai manzil-ba-manzil hum musafir bhagte
raste mein to KHatraat ki sun-gun bhi bahut hai
junun-pasand harif-e-KHirad to hum bhi hain
