Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
hath dikhla ke ye bola wo musalman-zada
sar jhukae raha sada gardun
mera kuchh haal kah kar zikr-e-majnun karte hain aashiq
jab KHafa hota hai to yun dil ko samjhata hun main
sujhi hai ulTi dasht-nawardi mein ai junun
na ponchho mere aansu tum na ponchho
dekh pachhtaega o but mere tarsane se
chhan Dala tamam kaba-o-dair
isi KHatir to qatl-e-ashiqan se mana karte the
hijr mein ek mah ke aansu hamare gir paDe
rahe yan gardish aur jama-dari
aaenge waqt-e-KHizan chhoD de aai hai bahaar
hai saya chandni aur chand mukhDa
pahunchaya ta-ba-kaba-e-maqsud faqr ne
wo mujh pe marne lage jo hai mere darpai-e-qatl
