Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
rokta hai gham-e-izhaar se pindar mujhe
logon ki malamat bhi hai KHud dard-sari bhi
is qadar ab gham-e-dauran ki farawani hai
kisi aur gham mein itni KHalish-e-nihan nahin hai
fankar KHud na thi mere fan ki sharik thi
yaad
musafir
haar jit
kahani
ujala
main kis ke hath pe apna lahu talash karun
nawak-e-zulm uTha dashna-e-andoh sambhaal
aankh jhuk jati hai jab band-e-qaba khulte hain
gham-e-dauran ne bhi sikhe gham-e-jaanan ke chalan
is tarah hosh ganwana bhi koi baat nahin
kash hum log laD gae hote
meri aankhon mein nind chubhti hai
allah allah ye larzish-e-mizhgan
yun to aksar KHayal aata tha
uske chehre ka aks paDta hai
