Gorakhpur, Uttar pradesh, India
pas-e-adab mein josh-e-tamanna liye hue
pata nahin jo lazzat-e-ah-e-sahar ko main
aalam-e-rozgar ko aasan bana diya
raqs-e-masti dekhte josh-e-tamanna dekhte
shikwa na chahiye ki taqaza na chahiye
hal kar liya majaz haqiqat ke raaz ko
ek aisi bhi tajalli aaj mai-KHane mein hai
nahin dair o haram se kaam hum ulfat ke bande hain
ye bhi fareb se hain kuchh dard aashiqi ke
zulf thi jo bikhar gai ruKH tha ki jo nikhar gaya
