Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
tafriq husn-o-ishq ke andaz mein na ho
ahd-e-shabab-e-rafta kya ahd-e-pur-faza tha
be-KHud aisa kiya KHauf-e-shab-e-tanhai ne
khelna aag ke shoalon se kuchh aasan nahin
gham mein kuchh gham ka mashghala kije
un ko hansa rahi hai jama-dari hamari
hui diwangi is darja mashhur-e-jahan meri
mohabbat to humne bhi ki aur bahut ki
ghar ko chhoDa hai KHuda jaane kahan jaane ko
kis ka kucha hai aa gaya hun kahan
meri raat kyun kar kaTegi ilahi
kam-sini kya kam thi is par qahr hai shakki mizaj
hain sau tariqe aur bhi ai be-qarar dil
duniya ko din din ko duniya karenge hum
jagmagati teri aankhon ki qasam furqat mein
