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
lab-e-rangin se agar tu guhar-afshan hota
ai sanam wasl ki tadbiron se kya hota hai
parda ulaT ke usne jo chehra dikha diya
misal-e-tar-e-nazar kya nazar nahin aata
dekhi jo zulf-e-yar tabiat sambhal gai
qamar ki wo KHurshid taswir hai
rang se pairahan-e-sada hinai ho jae
be-bulae hue jaana mujhe manzur nahin
chand sa chehra jo us ka aashkara ho gaya
jab ayan subh ko wo nur-e-mujassam ho jae
