Kolkata, West Bengal, India
jam khanke to sambhaala na gaya dil tum se
sarhad-e-jalwa se jo aage nikal jaegi
ujale tel chhiDakne lage ujalon par
ab sarab ke chashme maujzan nahin hote
ujala kaisa ujale ka KHwab la na sake
naddi naddi ran paDte hain jab se naw utari hai
saliqa itna to ai shauq-e-KHush-kalam aae
ruswa bhi hue jam paTakna bhi na aaya
kis qadar masala-e-sham-o-sahar badla hai
chalo kuchh to rah tai ho na chale to bhul hogi
humne maiKHane ki taqdis bacha li hoti
lahu ne kya tere KHanjar ko dilkashi di hai
jab phail ke viranon se virane milenge
ai naqsh-garo lauh-e-tahrir hamein de do
jism hi pamal ho jae to sar kya kijiye
