Bilgram, Uttar pradesh, India
jab zara naghmon se bulbul gul-fishan ho jaega
hue karwan se juda jo hum rah-e-ashiqi mein fana hue
shab-e-gham mein chhai ghaTa kali kali
paD gai aap par nazar hi to hai
gardan-e-shisha jhuka de mere paimane par
ho gaya abru ki saffaki se shohra yar ka
munkir hote hain hunar wale
ghunche chaTak gae chaman-e-rozgar ke
baDe nazon se dil mein jalwa-e-jaanana aata hai
la ke duniya mein hamein zahr-e-fana dete hain
jab aankh band hogi didar dekh lenge
jo dagh hai ishq-e-dil-nashin ka jo dil-nashin hain dil-e-hazin ka
jo uzw-e-baatin KHuda banata to hum dil-e-be-qarar hote
jo hai arsh par wahi farsh par koi KHas us ka makan nahin
hui hai hum mein aur is gul mein kya kya mar phulon ki
