Barabanki, Uttar pradesh, India
ghas mein jazb hue honge zamin ke aansu
main wo mani-e-gham-e-ishq hun jise harf harf likha gaya
sath uske rah sake na baghair uske rah sake
jitna aankh se kam dekhun
aansuon se tu hai Khaali dard se aari hun main
mera shor-e-gharqabi KHatm ho gaya aaKHir
koi nahin jo pata de dilon ki haalat ka
rasm-e-jahan na chhuT saki tark-e-ishq se
humne shikwa kabhi kiya na karen
ye chaha tha ki patthar ban ke ji lun
aur to kya diya bahaaron ne
zamin yaKH-basta ho jati hai jab jaDon ki raaton mein
qissa chheDa mehr o wafa ka awwal-e-shab un aaankhon ne
ek patinge ne ye apne raqs-e-aKHir mein kaha
un ko jalwat ki hawas mahfil mein tanha kar gai
