Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
kisi surat se ho jata hai saman-e-safar paida
soz se saz hi nahin haal hai kuchh ajab tera
ba-rang-ebaad-e-saba gul khilae hain kya kya
KHud ko sharminda-e-be-dad kiya hai kis ne
mai-kada mere liye ja-e-tasadum to nahin
sarfaroshon ke chale lashkar pe lashkar dekhiye
manus ho gae hain sitam peshgi se hum
hazar shukr ki andesha-e-maal gaya
ye itni barhami kyun hai ye mujhse bad-guman kyun ho
dil ko mamnun-e-tamanna na karo
kya koi samjhega afsana mera
chalega jam kisi ka na uske jam ke baad
hai soz-e-gham ko garmi-e-bazar ki talash
baDe ajib manazir nazar se guzre hain
dil ki ho dil se mulaqat bahut mushkil hai
