Mubarakpur, Uttar pradesh, India
shamim-e-zulf o gul-e-tar nahin to kuchh bhi nahin
is but ke har fareb pe qurban se rahe
na koi aah na koi KHalish na dard na gham
ghamon ki duniya ko raund Dalen nashat-e-dil paemal kar len
wahi kasif ghaTaen wahi bhayanak raat
dil sard ho to wa lab-e-guftar kya karen
dana-e-gham na mahram-e-raaz-e-hayat hum
mile mujhko gham se fursat to sunaun wo fasana
hum ek KHwab liye mah o sal se guzre
kucha-e-yar mein ab jaane guzar ho ki na ho
tujhse nazar mila kar diwana ho gaya main
hum dahr ke is virane mein jo kuchh bhi nazara karte hain
dil mein kuchh soz-e-tamanna ke nishan milte hain
sarw-o-saman bhi mauj-e-nasim-e-sahar bhi hai
aish se kyun KHush hue kyun gham se ghabraya kiye
