Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
ek tir nahin kya teri mizhgan ki safon mein
wahima hoga yahan koi na aaya hoga
dil ki baat na mani hoti ishq kiya kyun piri mein
dil tha pahlu mein to kahte the tamanna kya hai
baja ki darpai-e-azar chashm-e-tar hai bahut
aaKHir KHud apne hi lahu mein Dub ke sarf-e-wigha hoge
wo awwalin dard ki gawahi saji hui bazm-e-KHwab jaise
gard-alud darida chehra yun hai mah o sal ke baad
ajib rang the dil mein jo aansuon mein na the
suno kawi tausif tabassum is dukh se kya paoge
is par jahan-e-raftagan hai
meri surat saya-e-diwar-o-dar mein kaun hai
tha pas-e-mizhgan-tar ek hashr barpa aur bhi
aaina milta to shayad nazar aate KHud ko
marte marte raushni ka KHwab to pura hua
