Farrukhabad, Uttar pradesh, India
wo raushni ki ba-qaid-e-sahar nahin ai dost
chhaTe ghubar nazar baam-e-tur aa jae
har moD ko charagh-e-sar-e-rahguzar kaho
daur-e-tufan mein bhi ji lete hain jine wale
shabab-e-husn hai barq-o-sharar ki manzil hai
junun KHud-numa KHud-nagar bhi nahin
ek tum hi nahin duniya mein jafakar bahut
gulon ke sath ajal ke payam bhi aae
qusur ishq mein zahir hai sab hamara tha
rahguzar ho ya musafir nind jis ko aae hai
dil wo kafir ki sada aish ka saman mange
har sitam lutf hai dil KHugar-e-azar kahan
manzilon se begana aaj bhi safar mera
meri sahba-parasti morid-e-ilzam hai saqi
lai teri mahfil mein mujhe aarzu-e-did
