Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
wahshat mein bhi ruKH jaanib-e-sahra na karenge
asar zulf ka barmala ho gaya
main agar rone lagun rutba-e-wala baDh jae
zer-e-zamin hun tishna-e-didar-e-yar ka
wo shah-e-husn jo be-misl hai hasinon mein
daulat nahin kaam aati jo taqdir buri ho
chhup saka dam bhar na raaz-e-dil firaq-e-yar mein
josh-e-wahshat yahi kahta hai nihayat kam hai
baad-e-fana bhi hai maraz-e-ishq ka asar
hamare aib ne be-aib kar diya hum ko
