Balrampur, Uttar pradesh, India
garche hai musht-e-ghubar aadam o hawwa ka wajud
sal-ha-sal fazaon mein sharar-bar rahi
ye hukumat ke pujari hain ye daulat ke ghulam
tabassum-e-lab-e-saqi chaman khila hi gaya
un ko milta hi nahin hai dur-e-maqsud kahin
chhalki saghar mein mai-e-nab gawara ban kar
aazmaish hai teri jurat-e-rindana ki
aa tere honT chum lun ai muzhda-e-najat
jazba-e-shauq ki takmil nahin ho sakti
zindagani ne diya hai ye mujhe hukm ki tu
jannat o kausar o afrishta o hur o jibril
kis qadar nur-e-sahar dekh ke sharmate hain
abhi jawan hai gham-e-zindagi ka har lamha
kahin dariya kahin wadi kahin kohsar bani
main to bhula nahin tum bhul gai ho mujhko
