Gorakhpur, Uttar pradesh, India
pata nahin jo lazzat-e-ah-e-sahar ko main
ye ishq ne dekha hai ye aql se pinhan hai
garam-e-talash-o-justuju ab hai teri nazar kahan
jine ka na kuchh hosh na marne ki KHabar hai
shikwa na chahiye ki taqaza na chahiye
na ye shisha na ye saghar na ye paimana bane
wo naghma bulbul-e-rangin-nawa ek bar ho jae
aalam-e-rozgar ko aasan bana diya
ye nang-e-ashiqi hai sud o hasil dekhne wale
mai-e-be-rang ka sau rang se ruswa hona
gum kar diya hai did ne yun sar-ba-sar mujhe
jo naqsh hai hasti ka dhoka nazar aata hai
husn ko wusaten jo din ishq ko hausla diya
na khule uqda-ha-e-naz-o-niyaz
sirf ek soz to mujh mein hai magar saz nahin
