Sasaram, Bihar, India
ek zara chain bhi lete nahin tabish-sahab
roz ek marg ka aalam bhi guzarta hai yahan
ji laga rakkha hai yun tabir ke auham se
isi qadar hai hayat o ajal ke bich ka farq
aaj bhi uske mere bich hai duniya hail
tu jo is duniya ki KHatir apna-ap ganwata hai
main apna kar-e-wafa aazmaunga phir bhi
hai ek hi lamha jo kahin wasl kahin hijr
be-hunar dekh na sakte the magar dekhne aae
har aise-waise se qufl-e-qafas nahin khulta
ek basti thi hui waqt ke andoh mein gum
ek KHushbu thi jo malbus pe tabinda thi
main us ghaDi apne aap ka samna bhi karne se bhagta hun
