Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
wahshat mein bhi ruKH jaanib-e-sahra na karenge
asar zulf ka barmala ho gaya
ai sanam wasl ki tadbiron se kya hota hai
qamar ki wo KHurshid taswir hai
jab ayan subh ko wo nur-e-mujassam ho jae
lakh parde se ruKH-e-anwar ayan ho jaega
na koi un ke siwa aur jaan-e-jaan dekha
matlab na kabe se na irada kanisht ka
chand sa chehra jo us ka aashkara ho gaya
dekhi jo zulf-e-yar tabiat sambhal gai
misal-e-tar-e-nazar kya nazar nahin aata
be-bulae hue jaana mujhe manzur nahin
rang se pairahan-e-sada hinai ho jae
kis tarah milen koi bahana nahin milta
wo shah-e-husn jo be-misl hai hasinon mein
