Ghazal which reflects my experience in this city …

Koi dost hai na raqeeb hai,
tera sehar kitna ajeeb hai.

Woh jo ishq tha woh junoon tha,
yeah jo hijre hai ye naseeb hai.

Yahan kiska chehra padha karoon,
yahan kaun itna kareeb hai.

Main kise kahoon mere saath chal,
yahan sab ke sar pe saleeb hai.

कोई दोस्त है न रकीब है,
तेरा शहर कितना अजीब है.

वह जो इश्क था वह जूनून था,
ये जो हिज्र है ये नसीब है.

यहाँ किसका चेहरा पढ़ करूं,
यहाँ कौन इतना करीब है.

मैं किसे कहूं मेरे साथ चल,
यहाँ सब के सर पे सलीब है.

रकीब/raqeeb=enemy
हिज्र/Hijre=Sepration
सलीब/saleeb=cross
