Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
kahan tak jafa husn walon ki sahte
ghash bhi aaya meri pursish ko qaza bhi aai
dil ke hote bhi kahin dard juda hota hai
main nahin kahta ki duniya ko badal kar rah chal
siwae rahmat-e-rab kuchh nahin hai
ibrat-e-dahr ho gaya jab se chhupa mazar mein
jal gaya KHak hua kab ka wo parwana-e-dil
dil kyun tapan hai kucha-e-dildar dekh kar
KHud-faramosh-e-qafas hum hain chaman yaad nahin
sahar ko bhi meri mahfil mein barhami na hui
main wo hun jis ka zamane ne sabaq yaad kiya
asir-e-ishq-e-maraz hain to kya dawa karte
chaman ka zikr kya ab to KHuda ko yaad karte hain
bas ai falak nashat-e-dil ka intiqam ho chuka
KHun kis kis ka hua sadqe teri talwar par
