Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
jab se bulbul tu ne do tinke liye
gale mein hath the shab us pari se rahen thin
kya roke qaza ke war tawiz
haTao aaina ummid-war hum bhi hain
pila saqiya arghawani sharab
phulon mein agar hai bu tumhaari
hum jo mast-e-sharab hote hain
mujh mast ko mai ki bu bahut hai
tera kya kaam ab dil mein gham-e-jaanana aata hai
dil jo sine mein zar sa hai kuchh
mere bas mein ya to ya-rab wo sitam-shiar hota
baat karne mein to jati hai mulaqat ki raat
kaha jo maine ki yusuf ko ye hijab na tha
shamshir hai sinan hai kise dun kise na dun
qibla-e-dil kaba-e-jaan aur hai
