Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
hai barham phir mizaj un ka dil-e-nakaam kya hoga
wo misl-e-mauj-e-bahaar apne shabab ki samt aa rahe hain
sahil pe ab charagh farozan hue to kya
mera KHulus-e-mohabbat bhi kaamran na hua
mera darman hai na kabe mein na but-KHane mein
chaTak ke ghunche sunate hain kis ka afsana
karte rahen wabasta un se chahe jo afsane log
gham se ghabra ke qayamat ka talabgar na ban
yahi hua hai jo us rahguzar se guzre hain
koi hamdard nahin koi bhi dam-saz nahin
jab raushni na pa sake mehr-o-qamar se hum
is daur mein sab apna chalan bhul gae hain
jab apne gham ka fasana unhen sunate hain
mausam-e-gul mein koi kab hosh-mandana chala
hausle aur siwa ho gae parwanon ke
