Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
jise na meri udasi ka kuchh KHayal aaya
mere log KHema-e-sabr mein mere shahr gard-e-malal mein
na ehtijaj na aawargi mein dekh mujhe
puchho agar to karte hain inkar sab ke sab
ye log KHwab bahut karbala ke dekhte hain
nazar uTha ke jo dekha udhar koi bhi na tha
meri nafrat bhi hai sheron mein mere pyar ke sath
yaqin se nikle to jaise guman ki zad mein hain
raushni mein kis qadar diwar-o-dar achchhe lage
ganw ki aankh se basti ki nazar se dekha
baDe nadan the hum ret ko aab-e-rawan samjhe
jis ko hona hai wo in aankhon se ojhal ho jae
waqt ki bazgasht se kab ye hua ki Dar gae
waqt ek dariya hai dariya sab baha le jaega
rasta koi safar koi masafat koi
