Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
husn-e-sad-rang se firdaus ba-daman nikla
kisi surat se ho jata hai saman-e-safar paida
mila tha roz-e-azal zauq-e-kaamyab mujhe
jam lete hain na pine ko subu lete hain
har ek ke tajarbe se muKHtalif hai tajraba mera
phir kya tha jo parde mein tha ruswa to nahin tha
had-e-imkan se aage apni hairani nahin jati
mai-kada mere liye ja-e-tasadum to nahin
manus ho gae hain sitam peshgi se hum
ba-rang-ebaad-e-saba gul khilae hain kya kya
kuchh is qadar hai pareshan nafas nafas mera
soz se saz hi nahin haal hai kuchh ajab tera
jab nazar jaan0b-e-asbab-e-fana karte hain
sarfaroshon ke chale lashkar pe lashkar dekhiye
hazar kufr hain ek chashm-e-parsa mein teri
