Khairabad, Uttar pradesh, India
ahbab-o-aqarib ke bartaw koi dekhe
uThte joban pe khil paDe gesu
jab maine kaha dil mera pamal kiya kyun
meri hasti se to achchhi hain hawaen yarab
ab kaun phire ku-e-but-e-dushman-e-din se
zahid to baKHshe jaen gunahgar munh taken
lutf-e-qurbat hai mai-parasti mein
jalwa-e-ruKHsar-e-saqi saghar-o-mina mein hai
namak-pash-e-zaKHm-e-jigar ab to aa ja
adu ko chhoD do phir jaan bhi mango to hazir hai
kah do saqi se ki pyasa na nikale mujhko
unhon ne kya na kiya aur kya nahin karte
asir-e-panja-e-ahd-e-shabab kar ke mujhe
ye naqsha hai ki munh takne laga hai muddaa mera
agar taqdir sidhi hai to KHud ho jaoge sidhe
