Unnao, Uttar pradesh, India
mujhse tanhai mein gar miliye to dije galiyan
hum jaur-paraston pe guman tark-e-wafa ka
ghair ki nazron se bach kar sab ki marzi ke KHilaf
un ko yan wade pe aa lene de ai abr-e-bahaar
ghurbat ki subh mein bhi nahin hai wo raushni
nahin aati to yaad unki mahinon tak nahin aati
hai wahan shan-e-taghaful ko jafa se bhi gurez
iltifat-e-yar tha ek KHwab-e-aghaz-e-wafa
ye bhi aadab-e-mohabbat ne gawara na kiya
toD kar ahd-e-karam na-ashna ho jaiye
gham-e-arzu ka hasrat sabab aur kya bataun
KHirad ka nam junun paD gaya junun ka KHirad
dil ko KHayal-e-yar ne maKHmur kar diya
dawa-e-ashiqi hai to hasrat karo nibah
malum sab hai puchhte ho phir bhi muddaa
