Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
KHushi na mil saki aankhen meri pur-ab rahin
kal raat dil mein yaadon ka mela laga raha
sanson ko de ke tohfa-e-nikhat guzar gai
bashar bashar se gurezan hai dekhiye kya ho
Dub jaana mera muqaddar tha
wo chashm mail-e-lutf-o-karam hui bhi to kab
dhoka hai us ka jaanib-e-aghyar dekhna
fikr ka gar silsila maujud hai
pas uske mere gham ka mudawa bhi nahin hai
kis se ab ja ke kahen haal-e-pareshan apna
