Kanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
gul to gul Khaar tak chun liye hain
jab safina mauj se Takra gaya
andheron ko nikala ja raha hai
ai jalwa-e-jaanana phir aisi jhalak dikhla
koi paband-e-mohabbat hi bata sakta hai
tartib de raha tha main fahrist-e-dushmanan
rahta hai wahan zikr-e-tuhur-o-mai-e-kausar
wo aankh kya jo aariz o ruKH par Thahar na jae
sahta raha jafa-e-dost kahta raha ada-e-dost
dil se agar kabhi tera arman jaega
tere wadon pe kahan tak mera dil fareb khae
rind jannat mein ja bhi chuke
ek tujhko dekhne ke liye bazm mein mujhe
tu kuchh to mere zabt-e-mohabbat ka sila de
tu phul ki manind na shabnam ki tarah aa
