Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
sare aalam se mere gham ka hai afsana juda
raha karte hain mai-KHanon mein hum pir-e-mughan ho kar
hijr mein nashad duniya se dil-e-muztar gaya
mani-taraaz-e-ishq har ek baada-KHwar tha
intizar-e-hashr kar sakte nahin nakaam-e-ishq
wo shama nahin hain ki hon ek raat ke mehman
ya dil hai mera ya tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hai
sunta hun ki KHirman se hai bijli ko bahut lag
fana hone mein soz-e-shama ki minnat-kashi kaisi
banne lage hain dagh sitare KHusha nasib
