Moradabad, Uttar pradesh, India
lakhon mein intiKHab ke qabil bana diya
use haal-o-qal se wasta na gharaz maqam-o-qayam se
ye zarre jinko hum KHak-e-rah-e-manzil samajhte hain
shab-e-wasl kya muKHtasar ho gai
wo ada-e-dilbari ho ki nawa-e-ashiqana
tabiat in dinon begana-e-gham hoti jati hai
husn-e-kafir-shabab ka aalam
agar na zohra-jabinon ke darmiyan guzre
raaz jo sina-e-fitrat mein nihan hota hai
shaer-e-fitrat hun jab bhi fikr farmata hun main
fikr-e-manzil hai na hosh-e-jada-e-manzil mujhe
mohabbat mein ye kya maqam aa rahe hain
na dekha ruKH be-naqab-e-mohabbat
jaan kar min-jumla-e-KHasan-e-mai-KHana mujhe
sharma gae laja gae daman chhuDa gae
