Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
mujassam dagh-e-hasrat hun sarapa naqsh-e-ibrat ka
hath rakhte hi tha haal-e-qalb-e-muztar aaina
koi arman talash-e-dost ka kyun dil mein rah jata
unki ruKHsat ek qayamat thi dam-e-izhaar-e-subh
karobar-e-ishq ki kasrat kabhi aisi na thi
tere wade ka har ek ko agar etibar hota
usne mai pi ke sar-e-bazm jo saghar ulTa
kasrat se dagh hain jo gham-e-ishq-e-Khaal mein
koi mujh sa mustahiqq-e-rahm-o-gham-KHwari nahin
sare aalam se mere gham ka hai afsana juda
