Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
KHuda ali-gaDh ki madrase ko tamam amraaz se shifa de
mil gaya shara se sharab ka rang
KHatm kiya saba ne raqs gul pe nisar ho chuki
sheKH ne naqus ke sur mein jo KHud hi tan li
dard to maujud hai dil mein dawa ho ya na ho
dasht-e-ghurbat hai alalat bhi hai tanhai bhi
hasinon ke gale se lagti hai zanjir sone ki
KHushi hai sab ko ki operation mein KHub nishtar ye chal raha hai
duniya mein hun duniya ka talabgar nahin hun
biThai jaengi parde mein bibayan kab tak
be-takalluf bosa-e-zulf-e-chalipa lijiye
aaj aaraish-e-gesu-e-dota hoti hai
ummid TuTi hui hai meri jo dil mera tha wo mar chuka hai
jab yas hui to aahon ne sine se nikalna chhoD diya
hawa-e-shab bhi hai ambar-afshan uruj bhi hai mah-e-mubin ka
