Farrukhabad, Uttar pradesh, India
hamari tarah KHarab-e-safar na ho koi
junun mein aur KHirad mein dar-haqiqat farq itna hai
ye chaar din ki rifaqat bhi kam nahin ai dost
gham-e-zindagi ek musalsal azab
nikhar gae hain pasine mein bhig kar aariz
yaadon ke sae hain na umidon ke hain charag
janab-e-shaiKH samajhte hain KHub rindon ko
maine kab dawa-e-ilham kiya hai taban
mere afkar ki ranaiyan tere dam se
baDe baDon ke qadam Dagmaga gae taban
ye mai-kada hai kalisa o KHanqah nahin
manzilen rah mein thin naqsh-e-qadam ki surat
aansuon se koi aawaz ko nisbat na sahi
shabab-e-husn hai barq-o-sharar ki manzil hai
tabahiyon ka to dil ki gila nahin lekin
