Mubarakpur, Uttar pradesh, India
shamim-e-zulf o gul-e-tar nahin to kuchh bhi nahin
na koi aah na koi KHalish na dard na gham
is but ke har fareb pe qurban se rahe
bite hue dinon ki halawat kahan se laen
tujhse nazar mila kar diwana ho gaya main
kitni bulandiyon pe sar-e-dar aae hain
ghamon ki duniya ko raund Dalen nashat-e-dil paemal kar len
dil sard ho to wa lab-e-guftar kya karen
hum ek KHwab liye mah o sal se guzre
faza-e-shab mein sitare hazar guzre hain
wahi kasif ghaTaen wahi bhayanak raat
udasiyon ke siwa dil ki zindagi kya hai
gham ki taswir ban gaya hun main
intiha-e-gham mein mujhko muskurana aa gaya
