Farrukhabad, Uttar pradesh, India
tashrif lao kucha-e-rindan mein waizo
nala-e-bulbul-e-shaida to suna hans hans kar
haal-e-dil sunte nahin ye kah ke KHush kar dete hain
chhoD kar hum ko mila shama-ruKHon se ja kar
wo hai baDa karim rahim uski zat hai
dekha huzur ko jo mukaddar to mar gae
kya bataun kis tarah dil aa gaya
aap to munh pher kar kahte hain aane ke liye
yar par ilzam kaisa ai dil-e-KHana-KHarab
ku-e-jaanan mein na ghairon ki rasai ho jae
tifli ki mohabbat ko jawani mein na bhulo
janab-e-shaiKH ko sujhe na phir haram o halal
nama-bar na-umid aata hai
kaTte kisi tarah se nahin hae kya karun
dost dil rakhne ko karte hain bahane kya kya
