Kanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
ya rab meri hayat se gham ka asar na jae
yun intiqam tujhse fasl-e-bahaar lenge
wo KHanuman-KHarab na kyun dar-ba-dar phire
ai husn zamane ke tewar bhi to samjha kar
husn ka ek aah ne chehra niDhaal kar diya
gham har ek aankh ko chhalkae zaruri to nahin
mere chehre se gham aashkara nahin
saqiya tu ne mere zarf ko samjha kya hai
duniya-e-tasawwur hum aabaad nahin karte
tu phul ki manind na shabnam ki tarah aa
ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gae
jhuTi hi tasalli ho kuchh dil to bahal jae
hum aagahi-e-ishq ka afsana kahenge
chehra-e-subh nazar aaya ruKH-e-sham ke baad
mujhe pyar se tera dekhna mujhe chhup chhupa ke wo dekhna
