Khairabad, Uttar pradesh, India
hijr mein ho gaya visal ka kya
mere mahbub tum ho yar tum ho dil-ruba tum ho
mere arman mayusi ke pale paDte jate hain
teri rangat bahaar se nikli
us se kah do ki wo jafa na kare
jab kaha tir teri aankh ne akasr mara
mohabbat ibtida mein kuchh nahin malum hoti hai
wafa kya kar nahin sakte hain wo lekin nahin karte
muKhaalif hai saba-e-nama-bar kuchh aur kahti hai
gawah-e-wasl-e-adu sar jhuka ke dekh na lo
jafa se wafa mustarad ho gai
na kisi ki aankh ka nur hun na kisi ke dil ka qarar hun
rah ke parde mein ruKH-e-pur-nur ki baaten na kar
apne ahd-e-wafa ko bhul gae
dil-dadgan-e-husn se parda na chahiye
