Rudauli, Uttar pradesh, India
rudad-e-gham-e-ulfat un se hum kya kahte kyunkar kahte
ai shauq-e-nazara kya kahiye nazron mein koi surat hi nahin
bataun kya tujhe ai ham-nashin kis se mohabbat hai
kuchh tumhaari nigah kafir thi
aankh se aankh jab nahin milti
tere mathe pe ye aanchal bahut hi KHub hai lekin
kamal-e-ishq hai diwana ho gaya hun main
phir meri aankh ho gai namnak
mujhko ye aarzu wo uThaen naqab KHud
kab kiya tha is dil par husn ne karam itna
husn ko sharmsar karna hi
tumne to hukm-e-tark-e-tamanna suna diya
hum arz-e-wafa bhi kar na sake kuchh kah na sake kuchh sun na sake
chhup gae wo saz-e-hasti chheD kar
ya to kisi ko jurat-e-didar hi na ho
