Balrampur, Uttar pradesh, India
phans ki tarah har ek sans khaTakti hai mujhe
jis tarah KHwab ke halke se dhundalke mein koi
nasim-e-subh-e-tasawwur ye kis taraf se chali
ata hui hai mere dil ki saltanat tujhko
muntashar ho gai wusat mein sitaron ki tarah
yak-ba-yak kyun chamak uTThi hain nigahen teri
sare aalam mein ye uDta hua gul-rang nishan
ek kiran TuT ke sau rang bikhar jate hain
bujh gaya teri mohabbat ka sharara to kya
zehn o jazbaat o ishaaraat o kinayat bani
koi har gam pe sau dam bichha jata hai
zulf-e-shab-rang ki ghanghor ghaTa se chhan kar
maine apna hi bhigoya hai abhi to daman
nikhat-o-rang ka tufan umanD aaya hai
husn tera kabhi gul aur kabhi mahtab hua
