Kolkata, West Bengal, India
be-wajh nahin un ka be-KHud ko bulana hai
ham-nashinon mein hamara ham-nawa koi nahin
kisi se ishq karna aur isko ba-KHabar karna
shikayat bewafai ki na kar duniya-e-fani mein
ghairon ke sath baiThe hain is anjuman mein hum
maza aata kisi surat agar tark-e-wafa hota
kisi se ishq karna aur usko ba-KHabar karna
taDapta hai teri furqat mein koi nim jaan ho kar
hijr ki shab zulf-e-barham ka KHayal aata raha
ai kash na hota ye asar aah-e-rasa mein
nigahon ko zaban karna KHamoshi ko bayan karna
teri wafa ka hua tha kabhi guman mujhko
shayad nasib bosa-e-nalain-e-yar ho
mohabbat ghair-fani hai maraz hai la-dawa mera
abas hai pesh-e-arbab-e-suKHan azm-e-suKHan mujhko
