Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
josh-e-wahshat yahi kahta hai nihayat kam hai
gaya shabab na paigham-e-wasl-e-yar aaya
na sikandar hai na dara hai na qaisar hai na jam
itna to jazb-e-ishq ne bare asar kiya
puchha agar kisi ne mera aa ke haal-e-dil
baad-e-fana bhi hai maraz-e-ishq ka asar
kis tarah milen koi bahana nahin milta
angDai donon hath uTha kar jo usne li
dekh kar tul-e-shab-e-hijr dua karta hun
uryan hararat-e-tap-e-furqat se main raha
hamare aib ne be-aib kar diya hum ko
asar zulf ka barmala ho gaya
ai sanam wasl ki tadbiron se kya hota hai
nahin buton ke tasawwur se koi dil Khaali
agar hayat hai dekhenge ek din didar
