Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
muTThiyon mein KHak le kar dost aae waqt-e-dafn
uske sunne ke liye jama hua hai mahshar
zamana baDe shauq se sun raha tha
aap uTh rahe hain kyun mere aazar dekh kar
ai chaman walo chaman mein yun guzara chahiye
bu-e-gul phulon mein rahti thi magar rah na saki
sunne wale ro diye sun kar mariz-e-gham ka haal
hijr ki shab nala-e-dil wo sada dene lage
chal ai ham-dam zara saz-e-tarab ki chheD bhi sun len
bala se ho pamal sara zamana
aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaT chuka hun
sone walon ko kya KHabar ai hijr
dida-e-dost teri chasm-numai ki qasam
kis nazar se aapne dekha dil-e-majruh ko
jis shaKHs ke jite ji puchha na gaya saqib
