Jalandhar, Punjab, India
wafaon ke badle jafa kar rahe hain
aankh kam-baKHt se us bazm mein aansu na ruka
kaise band hua mai-KHana ab malum hua
naseh ko bulao mera iman sambhaale
hafiz ahl-e-zaban kab mante the
meri qismat ke nawishte ko miTa de koi
utrenge kis ke halq se ye dil-KHarash ghunT
aane wale jaane wale har zamane ke liye
doston ko bhi mile dard ki daulat ya rab
sunata hai kya hairat-angez qisse
uTh uTh ke baiTh baiTh chuki gard rah ki
ahl-e-zaban to hain bahut koi nahin hai ahl-e-dil
o dil toD ke jaane wale dil ki baat batata ja
kis munh se kah rahe ho hamein kuchh gharaz nahin
rang badla yar ne wo pyar ki baaten gain
