Khairabad, Uttar pradesh, India
gharib hum hain gharibon ki bhi KHushi ho jae
aarzu bhi to kar nahin aati
aati thi pahle dil se kabhi bu kabab ki
hina ye kahti hai lo be-zaban pa ke mujhe
kaun dil hai mere allah jo nashad nahin
ye bala mere sar chaDhi hi nahin
dar khula subh ko pau phaTte hi mai-KHane ka
kisi se wasl mein sunte hi jaan sukh gai
hamein pine-pilane ka maza ab tak nahin aaya
baala-e-baam ghair hai mein aastan par
jafa mein nam nikalo na aasman ki tarah
jaan niklegi meri jaan baDi mushkil se
KHwab mein bhi nazar aa jae jo ghar ki surat
kahne bhi kuchh na pae the aah-e-rasa se hum
mere pahlu mein hamesha rahi surat achchhi
