Malihabad, Uttar pradesh, India
be-shak asir-e-gesu-e-jaanan hain be-shumar
puchhti rahti hai jo qaisar-o-kisra ka mizaj
jo hai tazgi meri zat mein wahi zikr-o-fikr-e-chaman mein hai
dekhiye ruswa na ho jae kahin kar-e-junun
aaine mein hai faqat aap ka aks
aankhon mein jal rahe the diye etibar ke
log milne ko chale aate hain diwane se
kushta-e-zabt-e-fughan naghma-e-be-saz-o-sada
kafir sahi hazar magar isko kya kahen
jab bhi us zulf-e-pareshan ki hawa aati hai
tumhaari aankhon ki gardishon mein baDi murawwat hai humne mana
kisi ke jaur-e-musalsal ka faiz hai aKHgar
koi saghar pe saghar pi raha hai koi tishna hai
jo musafir bhi tere kuche se guzra hoga
dekho hamari samt ki zinda hain hum abhi
