Faizabad, Uttar pradesh, India
the bayaban-e-mohabbat mein jo giryan aah hum
mujh mast ko kyun bhae na wo sanwli surat
gar malun main kaf-e-afsos to hansta hai wo shoKH
ek to marzi na thi jaane ko meri us taraf
bin dekhe uske jawe ranj o azab kyun kar
na hai ab KHak-afshani na hairani na uryani
taba kah aur ghazal, hai ye naziri ka jawab
warasta kar diya jise ulfat ne bas wo shaKHs
is shoala-KHu ko dekh hua shaiKH ka ye haal
aastin-e-mauj dariya se juda hoti nahin
bud-o-bash apni kahen kya ki ab us bin yun hai
us zulf pe phabti shab-e-dijur ki sujhi
KHalal ek paD gaya nahaq gul o bulbul ki sohbat mein
aaluda-ba-KHun chashm se Tapke hai jo aansu
yun uThe wo bazm mein tazim ko ghairon ki hae
