Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
wazn ab un ka muayyan nahin ho sakta kuchh
kya jaaniye sayyad the haq aagah kahan tak
na hasil hua sabr-o-aram dil ka
ye sust hai to phir kya wo tez hai to phir kya
har qadam kahta hai tu aaya hai jaane ke liye
tumne bimar-e-mohabbat ko abhi kya dekha
mani ko bhula deti hai surat hai to ye hai
mazhab ka ho kyunkar ilm-o-amal dil hi nahin bhai ek taraf
kya hi rah rah ke tabiat meri ghabraati hai
unhen nigah hai apne jamal hi ki taraf
mehrbani hai ayaadat ko jo aate hain magar
jazba-e-dil ne mere tasir dikhlai to hai
nai tahzib se saqi ne aisi garm-joshi ki
jo tumhaare lab-e-jaan-baKHsh ka shaida hoga
haya se sar jhuka lena ada se muskura dena
