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
wo naghma bulbul-e-rangin-nawa ek bar ho jae
samne un ke taDap kar is tarah fariyaad ki
KHuda jaane kahan hai asghar-e-diwana barson se
koi mahmil-nashin kyun shad ya nashad hota hai
mai-e-be-rang ka sau rang se ruswa hona
majaz kaisa kahan haqiqat abhi tujhe kuchh KHabar nahin hai
asrar-e-ishq hai dil-e-muztar liye hue
tu ek nam hai magar sada-e-KHwab ki tarah
aks kis chiz ka aaina-e-hairat mein nahin
ye ishq ne dekha hai ye aql se pinhan hai
