Bareilly, Uttar pradesh, India
KHayal-e-gardish-e-sham-o-sahar mein rahta hun
fikr-e-naqqad-e-adab dirham-o-dinar mein hai
mizaj-e-dil na itna sard hota
hum naqsh-e-pa the rahguzar hi mein rah gae
rah ke KHamosh bhi elan bahut karta hai
jis raat bhi charagh-e-shab-e-gham raha hun main
kanTon tumhein phulon ki chubhan yaad rahegi
jab se hum badnam bahut hain
hael hain ashk rah mein kaise nazar mile
ye be-mausam jo purwai bahut hai
rang ka farq miTaya ye sharaf mera tha
Tis bhi Tis na thi zaKHm-e-jigar hone tak
chand diwaren kisi ko din kisi ko dar diye
ek baat bahut KHas thi chehron ke safar mein
taswir-e-dost fikr-e-mujassam bani rahi
