Meerut, Uttar pradesh, India
ahwal se kaha kisi ne ai nek-shiar
hai shukr durust aur shikayat zeba
kaifiyat-o-zauq aur zikr-o-aurad
maqsud hai qaid-e-justuju se bahar
jab tak ki sabaq milap ka yaad raha
ye masala-e-daqiq suniye humse
burhan-o-dalil ain gumrahi hai
tarik hai raat aur duniya zaKHKhaar
jab gu-e-zamin ne us pe Dala saya
hai bar-e-KHuda ki aalam-ara tu hai
hoti nahin fikr se koi afzaish
pani mein hai aag ka lagana dushwar
haq hai to kahan hai phir majal-e-baatil
duniya ko na tu qibla-e-hajat samajh
qallash hai qaum to paDhegi kyunkar
