Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
zara gham-zadon ke bhi gham-KHwar rahna
natija kyunkar achchha ho na ho jab tak amal achchha
kaam agar hasb-e-muddaa na hua
wahin se jab ki ishaara ho KHud-numai ka
main agar wo hun jo hona chahiye
nikhat-e-turra-e-mushkin jo saba lai hai
tarif us KHuda ki jis ne jahan banaya
kuja hasti bata de tu kahan hai
rawish-e-sada-bayani meri
ulTi har ek rasm-e-jahan-e-shuur hai
bazm-e-ijad mein be-parda koi saz nahin
sunoge mujhse mera majra kya
jahan tegh-e-himmat alam dekhte hain
nahin malum kya wajib hai kya farz
ruswa hue baghair na naz-e-butan uTha
