Farrukhabad, Uttar pradesh, India
ek ishaara sar-e-mahfil jo kiya us gul ne
ghairon se to fursat tumhein din raat nahin hai
hath mein le kar gilauri mujhko dikhla kar kaha
aap ke hote kisi aur ko chahun tauba
rone pe agar aaun to dariya ko Dubo dun
hum kisi aur ko takenge tumhaare hote
arman wasl ka meri nazron se taD ke
wo chaar aankhen kabhi karte nahin didar ke Dar se
chhoTi hi umr mein allah wazifa itna
sine se lipTo ya gala kaTo
aashiqon ko nafa kab hai inqilab-e-dahr se
aah-e-pur-soz ki tasir buri hoti hai
apni zaban se mujhe jo chahe kah len aap
nind aankh mein bhari hai kahan raat bhar rahe
suKHan-e-saKHt se dil pahle hi tum toD chuke
