Amritsar, Punjab, India
in bala ki aandhiyon mein ek shajar baqi rahe
tez aandhi ne faqat ek saeban rahne diya
ganw rafta rafta bante jate hain ab shahr
sar mein ek sauda tha baam-o-dar banane ka
kunj-e-tanhai basae hijr ki lazzat mein hun
be-nam dayaron ka safar kaisa laga hai
Tik ke baiThe kahan bezar-tabiat humse
sawal karta nahin aur jawab uski talab
wo jin ki chhanw mein pale baDe hue
KHalq-e-KHuda hai shah ki muKHbar lagi hui
ek pal bhi mere haal se ghafil nahin Thahra
dekh kar usko mujhe dhachka laga
jo bhi humse ban paDa karte rahe
rukun to rukta hai chalne pe sath chalta hai
bacha tha ek jo wo rabta bhi TuT gaya
