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 […]

Benaam sa ye dard, thehar kyon nahi jata
Jo beet gaya hai, woh guzar kyon nahi jata
Sab kuch to hai, kya dhundti rehti hai nigaahein
Kya baat hai, mai waqt pe ghar kyon nahi jata

ye na thee hamaaree qismat ke wisaal-e-yaar hota
agar aur jeete rehte yahee intezaar hota
tere waade par jiye ham to ye jaan jhoot jaanaa
ke khushee se mar na jaate agar ‘eitabaar hota’
- Ghalib

kuchh namak se bhari thailiyan kholiye.
phir mere ghav ki pattiyan kholiye.
mere par to katar hi diye aapne,
ab to pairon ki ye rassiyan kholiye.
