Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
phir munh se are kah kar paimana gira dije
aap ki yaad mein roun bhi na main raaton ko
main tinke chunta phirta hun sayyaad tiliyan
qafas mein jab zara jhapki meri aankh
puchhne wale bhari bazm mein qatil ko na puchh
wo to kahiye aap ki ulfat mein dil bahla raha
waiz se na puchhunga kabhi masala-e-ishq
mujhe to baKHshiye aur jine dije
jama hum karte gae chun chun ke tinke bagh mein
kisi aankh mein nind aae to jaanun
mangne par kya na dega taqat-e-sabr-o-sukun
do ghaDi dil ke bahlane ka sahaara bhi gaya
chhiDi hai aaj mujhse aasman se
in se jab puchha gaya bismil tumhaare kya karen
ek musa the ki un ka zikr har mahfil mein hai
