Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
na bahte ashk to tasir mein siwa hote
agar dil waqif-e-nairangi-e-tab-e-sanam hota
haal-e-dil main suna nahin sakta
dil-e-mayus mein wo shorishen barpa nahin hotin
halqe nahin hain zulf ke halqe hain jal ke
jahan mein haal mera is qadar zabun hua
tariq-e-ishq mein mujhko koi kaamil nahin milta
hangama hai kyun barpa thoDi si jo pi li hai
har ek ye kahta hai ab kar-e-din to kuchh bhi nahin
mere hawas-e-ishq mein kya kam hain muntashir
