Shahjahanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
ab unhen mujhse kuchh hijab nahin
shab-charagh kar mujhko ai KHuda andhere mein
tamam umr ki aawargi pe bhaari hai
har sans mein hai sarir-e-KHama
mere pyar ka qissa to har basti mein mashhur hai chand
Dhalta suraj aankh ka reza ho jata hai
apni majburi ko hum diwar-o-dar kahne lage
KHwab dekhun ki ratjage dekhun
kijiye aur sawalat na zati mujhse
kaun sa rang iKHtiyar karen?
sang-e-chehra-numa to main bhi hun
yahi suluk munasib hai KHush-gumanon se
maine kis shauq se ek umr ghazal-KHwani ki
aadha jiwan bita aahen bharne mein
har aan ek naya imtihan sar par hai
