Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
raushan dil-e-arif se fuzun hai badan un ka
hangama hai kyun barpa thoDi si jo pi li hai
mere hawas-e-ishq mein kya kam hain muntashir
na ruh-e-mazhab na qalb-e-arif na shairana zaban baqi
KHuda ali-gaDh ki madrase ko tamam amraaz se shifa de
ek bosa dijiye mera iman lijiye
falsafi ko bahs ke andar KHuda milta nahin
teri zulfon mein dil uljha hua hai
ishq-e-but mein kufr ka mujhko adab karna paDa
halqe nahin hain zulf ke halqe hain jal ke
tariq-e-ishq mein mujhko koi kaamil nahin milta
rang-e-sharab se meri niyyat badal gai
phir gai aap ki do din mein tabiat kaisi
nai tahzib se saqi ne aisi garm-joshi ki
yun meri taba se hote hain maani paida
