Jaunpur, Uttar pradesh, India
dard sa uTh ke na rah jae kahin dil ke qarib
hazar KHak ke zarron mein mil gaya hun main
zaban pe harf-e-shikayat are maaz-allah
tu na ho ham-nafas agar jine ka lutf hi nahin
tum aziz aur tumhaara gham bhi aziz
mahw-e-kamal-e-arzu mujhko bana ke bhul ja
us bewafa ki bazm se chashm-e-KHayal mein
main kya hun kaun hun ye bhi KHabar nahin mujhko
nizam-e-tabiat se ghabra gaya dil
dekh kar shama ke aaghosh mein parwane ko
tumhein bhi malum ho haqiqat kuchh apni rangin-adaiyon ki
khoya hua sa rahta hun aksar main ishq mein
uThne ko to uTTha hun mahfil se teri lekin
ashk-e-gham uqda-kusha-e-KHalish-e-jaan nikla
