Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
bazm mein jo tera zuhur nahin
sahr-e-gah-e-id mein daur-e-subu tha
main bhi duniya mein hun ek nala-pareshan yak ja
munh taka hi kare hai jis tis ka
haal-e-dil mir ka ro ro ke sab ai mah suna
raat se aansu meri aankhon mein phir aane laga
hai haal jae girya-e-jaan par aarzu ka
hain baad mere marg ke aasar se ab tak
maine jo be-kasana majlis mein jaan khoi
kuchh karo fikr mujh diwane ki
betabiyon mein tang hum aae hain jaan se
manind-e-shama-majlis shab ashk-bar paya
kal shab-e-hijran thi lab par nala bimarana tha
raftagan mein jahan ke hum bhi hain
kali kahte hain us ka sa dahan hai
