Rudauli, Uttar pradesh, India
har lahza dhaDakta hai dil-e-KHana-KHarab
ab jazba-e-wahshat ki qasam mat khao
sarmae ki azmat ka nishan dekh liya
ye raat judai ki bahut raushan hai
kahne ko bahut ahl-e-qalam aae hain
mai-KHane mein jaane ka ye hangam nahin
KHamoshi pe ilzam lagaya na karo
ai ruh-e-awadh teri mohabbat ke nisar
bedari ka ek daur naya aata hai
tufan nai tarah uTha dekhen to
sau tarah ke sadmon se guzarna kaisa
phir apni tamannaon ka dhaga TuTa
aaina-e-mahtab liye aae hain
saDkon pe teri phirta tha mara mara
kahte hain ba-sad-naz mera nam na lo
