Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
ek aalam ne jubba-sai ki
abr kya ghir ghir ke aaya khul gaya
wasl mein raftar-e-mashuqana dikhlati hai nind
jite ji bas wo but raha hamrah
har uzw musafir hai nahin kuchh safari aankh
chale but-KHane ko KHuda-hafiz
hamesha dil mein jo apne KHayal-e-zulf-o-kakul hai
mere nalon se tah-o-baala hui aksar zamin
KHuda-numa hai but-e-sang-e-astana-e-ishq
chhanta hai KHak kya tu ghar banane ke liye
tere ruKH ka kise sauda nahin hai
main sarapa mazhar-e-ism-e-KHuda wallah hun
hai naqsh-e-diram jo naqsh-e-pa hai
sar mera kaT ke pachhtaiyega
hua hai ishq taza ibtidai aah hoti hai
