Patiala, Punjab, India
subh-dam hai ye tabiat kaisi
haal-e-dil bad se bad-tar hua dekhiye
shahr ki viran saDak par jashn-e-gham karte hue
ek faqat KHud se gila baqi raha
nashat-e-dard ka dariya utarne wala hai
nafas nafas iztirab sa kuchh
tu gaya lekin teri yaaden yahan par rah gain
aaj yun hi sar-ba-sar dil bahut udas hai
is qadar bhi dil nahin TuTa hua
ab guman hai na yaqin kuchh bhi nahin kuchh bhi nahin
