Rudauli, Uttar pradesh, India
husn phir fitnagar hai kya kahiye
taskin-e-dil-e-mahzun na hui wo sai-e-karam farma bhi gae
meri wafa ka tera lutf bhi jawab nahin
KHamushi ka to nam hota hai
nahin ye fikr koi rahbar-e-kaamil nahin milta
junun-e-shauq ab bhi kam nahin hai
husn ko be-hijab hona tha
aasman tak jo nala pahuncha hai
yunhi baiThe raho bas dard-e-dil se be-KHabar ho kar
dhuan sa ek samt uTh raha hai sharare uD uD ke aa rahe hain
shauq ke hathon ai dil-e-muztar kya hona hai kya hoga
KHud dil mein rah ke aankh se parda kare koi
sine mein un ke jalwe chhupae hue to hain
wo naqab aap se uTh jae to kuchh dur nahin
barbaad-e-tamanna pe itab aur ziyaada
