Farrukhabad, Uttar pradesh, India
hamari tarah KHarab-e-safar na ho koi
rah-e-talab mein kise aarzu-e-manzil hai
junun mein aur KHirad mein dar-haqiqat farq itna hai
gham-e-zindagi ek musalsal azab
chhaTe ghubar-e-nazar baam-e-tur aa jae
ye chaar din ki rifaqat bhi kam nahin ai dost
ghubar-e-rah chala sath ye bhi kya kam hai
bastiyon mein hone ko hadse bhi hote hain
yaadon ke sae hain na umidon ke hain charag
kisi ke hath mein jam-e-sharab aaya hai
manzilen rah mein thin naqsh-e-qadam ki surat
mere afkar ki ranaiyan tere dam se
shabab-e-husn hai barq-o-sharar ki manzil hai
udhar chaman mein zar-e-gul luTa idhar taban
ye mai-kada hai kalisa o KHanqah nahin
