Unnao, Uttar pradesh, India
shab-e-firaq hamara wo nim-jaan hona
suni to usne ghairon se hua go bad-guman humse
samne us but ke jab jaana paDa
ajal ne luT liya aa ke karwan-e-hayat
wahshat mein koi kar-e-numayan na kar sake
rakhi hai husn pe buniyaad-e-ashiqi maine
haram kahta hai kuchh dair-e-butan kuchh aur kahta hai
shishe mein hai sharab to shisha sharab mein
ye kis ke aastane ki zamin malum hoti hai
tere husn-e-nazar ka ye bhi ek eajaz hai saqi
sar ko chaha bhi uThana to uThaya na gaya
KHushi jaante hain na gham jaante hain
