Bulandshahar, Uttar pradesh, India
ai dil-e-KHud-na-shanas aisa bhi kya
kisi se aur to kya guftugu karen dil ki
hijab uTThe hain lekin wo ru-ba-ru to nahin
hum tera ahd-e-mohabbat Thahre
ek aisa marhala-e-rah-guzar bhi aata hai
maqtal-e-jaan se ki zindan se ki ghar se nikle
hum hain bas itne hi sahil-ashna
aaina-e-wahshat ko jila jis se mili hai
zehn-o-dil mein kuchh na kuchh rishta bhi tha
wo KHwab hi sahi pesh-e-nazar to ab bhi hai
hae ek shaKHs jise humne bhulaya bhi nahin
tum ho jo kuchh kahan chhupaoge
nazar na aae to kya wo mere qayas mein hai
kab tak is pyas ke sahra mein jhulaste jaen
jaane ye kaisa zahr dilon mein utar gaya
