Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India
kisi pe karna nahin etibar meri tarah
sikandar hun talash-e-ab-e-haiwan roz karta hun
tamanna apni un par aashkara kar raha hun main
hama-jihat meri talab jis ki misal ab nahin
aur kuchh is ke siwa ahl-e-nazar jaante hain
kabhi meri talab kachche ghaDe par par utarti hai
farid ek din sahaare zindagi ke TuT jaenge
bagula ban ke uDa KHwahishon ke sahra mein
tumhein bhi bhulne ki koshishen kin
ai shah-e-junun tere irfan ko salam
KHanon mein kai KHud ko baT kar aaya
KHashak-e-wajud ek bhanwar mein rahta
akasr main yahan misl-e-samundar aaya
taskin-e-dil aur ruh ka aaram pila
