Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
aaKHir-e-kar yahi uzr jafa ka nikla
na sharh-e-shauq na taskin jaan-e-zar mein hai
bhule afsane wafa ke yaad dilwate hue
nigah-e-shauq ko yun aaina-samani de
ishq ki garmi-e-bazar kahan se laun
ashk-e-gul-rang nisar-e-gham-e-jaanana karen
nawed-e-wasl-e-yar aae na aae
chupke se nam le ke tumhaara kabhi kabhi
hijab-e-rang-o-bu hai aur main hun
aah se jab dil mein Dube tir ubhaare jaenge
dil ishq ki mai se chhalak raha hai
bahaar hai tere aariz se lau lagae hue
mujhko har phul sunata tha fasana tera
aap bik jae koi aisa KHaridar na tha
taskin-e-dil ko ashk-e-alam kya bahaun main
