Farrukhabad, Uttar pradesh, India
hum wo nahin sunen jo burai huzur ki
su-e-kaba chalun ki jaanib-e-dair
kis taraf aae kidhar bhul paDe KHair to hai
ilahi kya khule didar ki rah
mal rahe hain wo apne ghar mehndi
nur-e-badan se phaili andhere mein chandni
dard-e-dil kahte hue bazm mein aata hai hijab
aa gaya dil jo kahin aur hi surat hogi
KHat likha yar ne raqibon ko
dil mera KHwab-gah-e-dilbar hai
par dariya-e-mohabbat se utarna hai muhaal
ye kya sabab jo idhar chandni nahin aati
aaina kis liye us shoKH ke munh chaDhta hai
ye waiz kaisi bahki bahki baaten humse karte hain
maine minnat kabhi ki ho to bata den zahid
