Patna, Bihar, India
mere sar mein jo raat chakkar tha
suli chaDhe jo yar ke qad par fida na ho
subh-dam roti jo teri bazm se jati hai shama
jab KHuda ko jahan basana tha
qaid-e-tan se ruh hai nashad kya
husn ki jins KHaridar liye phirti hai
kyun dekhiye na husn-e-KHuda-dad ki taraf
gham nahin mujhko jo waqt-e-imtihan mara gaya
dil se kya puchhta hai zulf-e-girah-gir se puchh
mahfil mein us pe raat jo tu mehrban na tha
kab ghair hua mahw teri jalwagari ka
jafaen hoti hain ghuTta hai dam aisa bhi hota hai
kisi ka dil ko raha intizar sari raat
rote hain sun ke kahani meri
dil sang nahin hai ki sitamgar na bhar aata
