Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
hijr mein nashad duniya se dil-e-muztar gaya
raha karte hain mai-KHanon mein hum pir-e-mughan ho kar
khinch kar yun le chali wahshat bayaban ki taraf
pas-e-tauba hadis-e-mutrib-o-paimana kahte hain
wo taghaful ko ilaj-e-gham-e-pinhan samjha
kuchh KHushi se hamin ishq-e-sitam-ijad nahin
mani-taraaz-e-ishq har ek baada-KHwar tha
shauq-e-dil fikr-e-dahan mein hai jo rahbar ki tarah
kyun kahte ho kya meri jafa ko nahin dekha
KHugar-e-lazzat hun main kis shoKH ki tazir ka
intizar-e-hashr kar sakte nahin nakaam-e-ishq
baad muddat jo main ai charKH-e-kuhan yaad aaya
zabt se dil nazar rahta hai
jo muddaton mein kisi shoKH ka shabab aaya
subh ko hashr bhi hai kaT gai gar aaj ki raat
