Kolkata, West Bengal, India
tu hai aur aish hai aur anjuman-arai hai
bazm mein us be-murawwat ki mujhe
zindagi apni kisi tarah basar karni hai
aur ishrat ki tamanna kya karen
beja hai teri jafa ka shikwa
sine mein mere dagh-e-gham-e-ishq-e-nabi hai
wahshat suKHan o lutf-e-suKHan aur hi shai hai
us dil-nashin ada ka matlab kabhi na samjhe
zamana bhi mujhse na-muwafiq main aap bhi dushman-e-salamat
baDh chali hai bahut haya teri
aankh mein jalwa tera dil mein teri yaad rahe
zalim ki to aadat hai satata hi rahega
mehnat ho musibat ho sitam ho to maza hai
donon ne baDhai raunaq-e-husn
kaThin hai kaam to himmat se kaam le ai dil
